I always see people using Thread.Sleep() for creating delays in processing or something similar and people are always derided for using it this way.
When is it sensible/required to use Thread.Sleep()?
You should call
Thread.sleep()when you actually need a delay in a background thread.Do not call it to help synchronization (it won’t), don’t call it in a loop to wait for something (it’ll be slow) and never call it on a UI thread (it’ll freeze).
