How to do a Page PostBack With a Delay

Here's a simple way to delay a Page PostBack.

Add the following code in the Page_Load event:

C#

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

    {

        TimeSpan ts = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 5);

        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(ts);

    }

VB.NET

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

        Dim ts As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 5)

        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(ts)

    End Sub

Note: Avoid using this approach too much in a Production environment.
