How I can add delay between execution of two lines means i want to execute one line and then wait for 5 second and then execute second line. thread.sleep is not working well in windows form in c#. Is any other way?

What I have tried:

C#

steps[recursiveStep, left].BackColor = Color.Fuchsia;
                    left++;
                    Thread.Sleep(5000);
                    steps[recursiveStep, left].BackColor = Color.Green;

It's complicated, because you are trying to get one thread to do o different things at the same time: show what is going on, and wait for a specific product of time before doing something else - and that isn't going to work.
So set up a Timer, and user that to kick off the second colour change instead of trying to stop the current thread, because of you stop the thread, you can't see any changes...
