How to do sleep in microsecond
-
There is no way from the .NET framework to make a thread sleep for less than a millisecond. You can call Thread.Sleep(0) which will simply cause the process to switch contexts and let another thread run for a moment before returning and processing the current thread.

Maybe the StopWatch class can help you.
StopWatch watch = StopWatch.StartNew();
while (watch.ElapsedTicks < someValue)
{
}somevalue has to be computed from
Stopwatch.Frequencyto reflect the wanted amount of microseconds. Should be some easy math but I'm too lazy and also want to leave some coding for you :) -- modified at 16:26 Monday 14th August, 2006 Just an annotation: This way your thread doesn't really sleep but actively waits for time to go by, so this isn't really good practice and shouldn't be used often.

It can't be done. The Windows platform doesn't have programmable access to any hardware timers with that kind of resolution.

Thread.Sleep(100). This worked for me before

1 millisecond = 1000 microseconds...

I was wondering when someone would realise this :rolleyes:
Formula 1 - Short for "F1 Racing" - named after the standard "help" key in Windows, it's a sport where participants desperately search through software help files trying to find actual documentation. It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed

Althought the QueryPerformanceCounter function does have a resolution of 1 microsecond, you cannot sleep a process that accurately. The best your going to do is 1 millisecond, and even then, the resolution can vary by 10-15 milliseconds due to Windows being a shared system.
