The name "Thread" does not exist in the current context

Question

When I put this code Thread.Sleep(2000); he gives me an error:

The name "Thread" does not exist in the current context. "

I have already enabled the namespace using System.Threading; . See System.Threading.Thread.Sleep() on MSDN .

Answer 1

I assume this is a portable class library or a Windows Store / Phone project focused on Windows Runtime that does not have this design.

An alternative and recommended way would be to use:

await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));

or for a blocking call if you are not in an asynchronous context:

Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)).Wait();

A similar problem is also revealed in this post .

Answer 2

Try using the full namespace in your code:

 System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);
