All right, I am using MonoDevelop to make a program in Linux, using the C# language. How can I perform a task after a given amount of milliseconds, and have it repeat the process? (Basically, the equivalent of a Timer control in MonoDevelop). I have looked for a way to do this, but haven't found it.

Does Thread.Sleep work in the Mono version of .Net (FYI, it doesn't really matter that you're using MonoDevelop... programs developed with either MonoDevelop or Visual Studio will run under both the Microsoft .Net Framework and the Mono .Net Framework, aside from the Mono limitations)?

If it does work, then you can create a new thread, then just have it continually loop with a Thread.Sleep to help you space out processing over time.

I tried it, it's not working.

You're gonna have to be more specific than "it's not working". What's not working, and in what way is it not working? Also, post some code so we can be sure it would normally be working in Visual Studio/Microsoft .Net Framework.
