[C#] Process with delay

[borked technique]

In my code, I want to start a .exe file but I want to wait 30 seconds before the start of it.

I thought of doing it like so:

ProcessStartInfo startinfo = new ProcessStartInfo();

startinfo.FileName = "cmd.exe";

startinfo.Arguments = @"C:\program.exe";

startinfo.UseShellExecute = false;

startinfo.CreateNoWindow = true;

Process process;

process = Process.Start(startinfo);

This would work except I still need a delay. Any help? Thanks.

Add: Thread.Sleep(30000); and be sure to include the System.Threading namespace.

I need to clarify more. Thread.Sleep would work, except I have to make the call to start the program, and then my program has to die and be shutdown before this other process starts. I figure 30 seconds is enough time for it to do that. Is there a way to send a delay command in to the command prompt and then start my program?

oh... you want to queue the start of the program OUTSIDE of yours... so that they startup command waits while yours shuts down? hmmm i doubt that's possible :\

[DaveLegg Developer]

The only way I can think of doing that would be to write a second program that waits 30 seconds and loads the desired program, you call that program and close the first program, the second waits 30 seconds then loads the one you wanted to in the first place.

That's what I want to do... I could make a .cmd file and tell it to do the delay, but if I can do it another I would rather do that.
