I am writing a server program in which i want to pause my for loop execution when there is counter(int) is 25 at that time server asks a question to client "do you want to continue sending data?" if client response "yes" then my for loop should resume from counter 26. now my program when stopped in for loop if using "thread.sleep()" , it is not get intocase when the client response becaous control is in for loop so "sleep" method doesnt work for me here.
Is there any possible way to achieve this in c#. (VS10)?

What I have tried:

C#

Case "$" :

for(int i = 1 ; i <= 50 ; i++)
{
// put code here to stop for loop if (i=25) nd client responces then resume from 26.

   if (code[i] != "0")
   {   
     InputSimulator.SimulateTextEntry(code[i]);                                                              
   }
   
   if(i=25) 
   {
     //Thread.Sleep(#sec); // here time is depending on client response.
   }
}

That is the wrong way to do it. You should just send the message to the client and then use the receive command to wait for a response. Also your if test is wrong, you need ==.

You need to use what are called reset events, google "c# manualresetevent" for explanations and examples. It's like a sleep in that when the server process hits it will pause execution, but it allows another process (the client code) to trigger the state such that it allows the server event to then continue processing, so it's a sleep that other threads can control.

As @Richard MacCutchan already wrote, try this:

C#

//if(i=25) 

if(i == 25)

Or if you wish the compiler to catch the error:

if(25 == i)

that is the typing mistake there, but it does not solve my eproblem
