iam working with thread and i have created thread by background process.

myRequirement: Iam looping the value. Each loop i want to make thread sleep for 5000sec. But it doesnt call thread method?.

Iam getting output immediately.

Kindly solve this issue. my code follows.

C#

private void button_PrintNumber_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(i);
                Thread backGroundThread = new Thread(DoTime);
                backGroundThread.Start();
            }
        }
        private void DoTime() 
        {
             Thread.Sleep(5000);
        }

What I have tried:

C#

private void button_PrintNumber_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
            {
                listBox1.Items.Add(i);
                Thread backGroundThread = new Thread(DoTime);
                backGroundThread.Start();
            }
        }
        private void DoTime() 
        {
             Thread.Sleep(5000);
        }

Well yes. You will.
That's the whole idea of using a separate Thread - it lets the main thread continue with what it was doing while the new one does something different.
So your code kicks off ten threads, all of which suspend themselves for five seconds without affecting the main thread which continues as if the other threads didn't exist.
If you want the main thread to pause, you need to use Sleep on main thread code - but I really don't recommend that!
