there is no use for delay for 1 to 10 ms for data to be ready,u need to put atleast 2 to 5 secs,bcz code is execute in 1 to 10 milli secs.

Where do you get the "Thread" var to use with Thread.Sleep?

Mitchell J. 5-Dec-13 21:20pm

Add "using System.Threading;" to the using block at the top of your code. Bingo!

Thread is not a variable. It's a class and the reason you can use it without declaring an instance of it is because the Sleep method is static.
