When to use Task.Delay, when to use Thread.Sleep in Javascript?
338
The biggest difference between Task.Delay and Thread.Sleep is that Task.Delay is intended to run asynchronously. It does not make sense to use Task.Delay in synchronous code. It is a VERY bad idea to use Thread.Sleep in asynchronous code.
Normally you will call Task.Delay() with the await keyword:
await Task.Delay(5000);or, if you want to run some code before the delay:
var sw = new Stopwatch();
sw.Start();
Task delay = Task.Delay(5000);
Console.WriteLine("async: Running for {0} seconds", sw.Elapsed.TotalSeconds);
await delay;
