I'm porting a library to .NET core and to maximize portability I need to eliminate the dependency on System.Threading.Thread, and therefore Thread.Sleep. Whats an alternative to this?

TimeUnit provides a human-readable version of the Thread. sleep() method which can be used in place of the former. For a long time Thread's sleep() method is a standard way to pause a Thread in Java and almost every Java programmer is familiar with that.
For example, with thread. sleep(1000), you intended 1,000 milliseconds, but it could potentially sleep for more than 1,000 milliseconds too as it waits for its turn in the scheduler. Each thread has its own use of CPU and virtual memory.
delay will not and has a cancellation token, unless your app is pretty complex, it really doesn't matter as on the surface: task. delay and thread. sleep do pretty much the same thing. "both do the same thing, they block the executing thread..." -- AFAIK the await task.
In C#, a Sleep() method temporarily suspends the current execution of the thread for specified milliseconds, so that other threads can get the chance to start the execution, or may get the CPU for execution. There are two methods in the overload list of Thread. Sleep Method as follows: Sleep(Int32)
you can use Task.Delay(2000).Wait(); // Wait 2 seconds with blocking await Task.Delay(2000); // Wait 2 seconds without blocking If you love us? You can donate to us via Paypal or buy me a coffee so we can maintain and grow! Thank you!
