Pausing a thread
This recipe will show you how to make a thread wait for some time without wasting operating system resources.
Getting ready
To work through this recipe, you will need Visual Studio 2012. There are no other prerequisites. The source code for this recipe can be found at BookSamples\Chapter1\Recipe2
.
How to do it...
To understand how to make a thread wait without wasting operating system resource, perform the following steps:
- Start Visual Studio 2012. Create a new C# Console Application project.
- In the
Program.cs
file add the followingusing
directives:using System; using System.Threading;
- Add the following code snippet below the
Main
method:static void PrintNumbers() { Console.WriteLine("Starting..."); for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) { Console.WriteLine(i); } } static void PrintNumbersWithDelay() { Console.WriteLine("Starting..."); for (int i = 1; i < 10; i++) { Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)); Console.WriteLine(i); } }
- Add the following code snippet inside the
Main
method:Thread t = new Thread(PrintNumbersWithDelay); t.Start(); PrintNumbers();
- Run the program.
How it works...
When the program is run, it creates a thread that will execute a code in the PrintNumbersWithDelay
method. Immediately after that, it runs the PrintNumbers
method. The key feature here is adding the Thread.Sleep
method call to a PrintNumbersWithDelay
method. It causes a thread executing this code to wait a specified amount of time (two seconds in our case) before printing each number. While a thread is sleeping, it uses as little CPU time as possible. As a result, we will see that the code in the PrintNumbers
method that usually runs later will be executed before the code in the PrintNumbersWithDelay
method in a separate thread.
