Alternatives to Thread.Sleep()

Question

Every N minutes we want to run through a list of tasks. So we\'ve created a task executor with a

No

Answer 1

Thread.Sleep isn't the devil - you could use it for a scenario like this. It's just not very reliable for short durations.

Using a WaitHandle is a good option - but you need a specific instance of a wait handle. It won't do this alone, however.

That being said, most of the time, operations like this are better suited towards using a Timer. Is there a reason you're trying to process this in a loop rather than just using a Timer to start off the work item?
