Thread.sleep dose not work from the first time????

Greetings,

I have a simple page with this code in Page_Load event(vb.net):


Response.Buffer=True

Response.write("begin test")

Response.Flush()

system.threading.thread.sleep(5000)

Respoonse.write("end test")



The browser just shows BOTH messages in the first time the page runes,
NO 5 seconds wait. However,when I refresh the page, the code runs
fine, first message for 5 seconds then the second.

MHIA,
Grawsha

as you turned buffering on, nothing is sent to the browser until all page
processing is done. the sleep just makes the request take longer.

Bruce,

I did turn the buffer off but with no change. Brower still does not wait
for 5 seconds in the first time it loads the page. it does so when I refresh.

Solved!

All what i had to do is add longer string (>200 char)to enable buffer
to send its cont. to browser.
