0	Thread.Sleep pauses the current thread for specified number of milliscond Thread.Sleep(5000); // sleep for 5000 millisecond Monitor.Wait releases the lock on an object and blocks the current thread until it reacquires the lock. Look at this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.threading.monitor.wait.aspx and http://www.albahari.com/threading/part4.aspx for real time example.

0	thread.sleep() The thread's execution can be paused by calling the thread.sleep(). IT ALWAYS TAKES THE INTEGER VALUE. Thanks and Regards, GokulNath Nithy. Dipu710646, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
