How to make the system sleep for a while.
-
How can I make the system sleep for a while so that in the meanwhile my files get populated with some data and after that I can access the file for processing. Is there any way in vb.net or I have to call some API functions ? Thanks in Advance.

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) '1000 Milli Second delay Or you can use a different thread to do the population of the files.
Private Sub PopulateFiles ..... End SubUse the lines below in one of your Procedures, which then calls the PopulateFiles procedure on a new thread.Dim thPopulateFiles As New System.Threading.Thread(AddressOf PopulateFiles) thPopulateFiles.Start()It can be tricky if you access the file before the new thread has finished executing - maybe look at Thread.Join as well.
