Thread.sleep

[joecool2005]

HiOn the following code

		Dim i As Integer		For i = 0 To 10			Thread.Sleep(1000)			Response.Write("test")			Session("State") = i + 1		Next		Session("State") = 100

I want to write "test" every 1000 miliseconds but I'm not able.Please help!ThxJoe

If this is for a web application (ASP.NET), then you're not going to be able to because of the way HTTP works. That code you presented would cause the Response to take 10 seconds and then immediately present "testtesttesttesttesttesttesttesttesttest" to the browser's screen.To make this function, you'll have to use javascript on the client side.

<div id="test"></div><script>var i = 0;function writeTest(){	document.getElementById("test").innerHTML += "test";	i++;	if(i < 10)	{		setTimeout("writeTest();", 1000);	}	}writeTest();</script>

In VB, the code is: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

In VB, the code is: System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000)

What he had is also correct if he indluded the system.Threading namespace.You could do this but using javascript and setTimeout would probably be more efficient.

Dim i As Integer		For i = 0 To 10			  Thread.Sleep(1000)			  Response.Write("test")  Response.Flush()			  Session("State") = i + 1		Next		Session("State") = 100
