Set timer in asp.net page

Question

How can I set a timer on my asp.net page so that it will pause/wait for few seconds (say 5 seconds) then do rest of stuff in the code?

Thanks.

Answer 1

If you want to pause execution on the server for some reason, you could simply invoke the Sleep method on the current thread, like so...

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);

If you want to pause execution in the browser, you could try the trick documented here .

Unfortunately, as a commenter mentioned, that javascript trick will block the browser process. Firefox offers an alternative that doesn't block execution documented here , but unfortunately that's only Firefox.

Answer 2

您可以执行Thread.Sleep(millisecondsToWait)但这可能会导致不良的用户体验。
