Using async to sleep in a thread without freezing [closed]

Question

So I a label here (""). When the button (button1) is clicked, the label text turns into "Test". After 2 seconds, the text is set back into "". I made this work with a timer (which has an interval of 2000):

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {     label1.Text = "Test";     timer.Enabled = true; }  private void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) {     label1.Text = ""; } 

This works; however though, I am curious about making it work in an async method.

My code looks like this currently:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {     label1.Text = "Test";     MyAsyncMethod(); }  public async Task MyAsyncMethod() {     await Task.Delay(2000);     label1.Text = ""; } 

This doesn't work though.

As I mentioned your code worked fine for me, But perhaps try setting your handler to async and running the Task.Delay in there.

private async void Button_Click_1(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) {     label1.Text = "Test";     await Task.Delay(2000);     label1.Text = ""; }
