| I want my program to sleep (do nothing) for one hour. I can use the timer and 3600 seconds and code around the midnight problem. is there a better way? I looked at datediff, hour, minute, second still have to worry about midnight. Thanks | |

How about this: Public Sub SleepUntil(ByVal untilWhen As DateTime) Dim wakeUp As TimeSpan = untilWhen.Subtract(Now) If TimeSpan.Compare(wakeUp, TimeSpan.Zero) = 1 Then System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(untilWhen.Subtract(Now())) End If End Sub David | |
