Delay in VB

[Patrick_]

How would I do a delay for a Console.Writeline?

Meaning, I want to say something, and then say, "Please Wait", and then have it delay for X amount of seconds before the next response. How would i do it?

Thank you!

Import System.Threading

Then look at the command:

Thread.Sleep(milliseconds)

Sweet, thanks. Now, how do I import System.Threading? It says it is a namespace, so not a valid expression....

At the top of your code, you should see a few lines like "Imports System", add it there (Y)

No, it's really weird, I don't. It's a command prompt application, and all I have at the top is:

Module Module1

Sub Main()

Sorry, it's my second day of programming, so... :)

[Delsphynx]

Put it in right above Module Module1

There are examples for the most popular .NET languages (including VB) here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....ssleeptopic.asp

Hope that helps.
