Question

i have this code:

private STOP = false;

public void Start()
{
     while(!STOP)
     {
          //do some work
          Thread.Sleep(15000);
     }
}

public void Stop()
{
     STOP = true;
}

But using this code sometimes need to wait a 15 secs, how to quickly stop this cycle or maybe need to use other code?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Something along the lines of:

private System.Threading.ManualResetEvent STOP = new System.Threading.ManualResetEvent(false);

public void Start()
{
     while(true)
     {
          //do some work
          if(STOP.WaitOne(15000))
            break;
     }
}

public void Stop()
{
    STOP.Set();
}
