Delay an operation within a while loop in ASP.NET (async)

Question

I need to create a while loop with 10 seconds of delay between each iteration:

while (true) { // operation // delay for 10 seconds }

@Steve Yes, I really tried using a timer, but I didn’t succeed. Can you explain how to use it, please. — Vladimir Arkhangelskii

if you're in a context that allows async add await Task.Delay(10000);. — Tobias Tengler

You could use Task.Delay for this:

var timespan = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10); await Task.Delay(timespan); // or Task.Delay(timespan).Wait();

I'm recommending this over Thread.Sleep, since Thread.Sleep blocks your entire Thread while waiting, whilst Task.Delay allows the Thread to deal with other work, while waiting.

Just insert a sleep timer inside the while loop that sleeps for 10 seconds.

See this thread: How do I get my C# program to sleep for 50 msec?
