两全其美:

using System.Runtime.InteropServices;

    [DllImport("winmm.dll", EntryPoint = "timeBeginPeriod", SetLastError = true)]
    private static extern uint TimeBeginPeriod(uint uMilliseconds);

    [DllImport("winmm.dll", EntryPoint = "timeEndPeriod", SetLastError = true)]
    private static extern uint TimeEndPeriod(uint uMilliseconds);
    /**
     * Extremely accurate sleep is needed here to maintain performance so system resolution time is increased
     */
    private void accurateSleep(int milliseconds)
    {
        //Increase timer resolution from 20 miliseconds to 1 milisecond
        TimeBeginPeriod(1);
        Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();//Makes use of QueryPerformanceCounter WIN32 API
        stopwatch.Start();

        while (stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds < milliseconds)
        {
            //So we don't burn cpu cycles
            if ((milliseconds - stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds) > 20)
            {
                Thread.Sleep(5);
            }
            else
            {
                Thread.Sleep(1);
            }
        }

        stopwatch.Stop();
        //Set it back to normal.
        TimeEndPeriod(1);
    }

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(50);

记住，在主GUI线程中这样做会阻碍GUI的更新(它会感觉“迟缓”)。

只要把;使它也适用于VB.net。

从.NET Framework 4.5开始，你可以使用:

using System.Threading.Tasks;

Task.Delay(50).Wait();   // wait 50ms

可读性:

using System.Threading;
Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(50));

使用这段代码

using System.Threading;
// ...
Thread.Sleep(50);
