The name 'Thread' does not exist in the current context

When I put this code Thread.Sleep(2000); it gives me the error:

The name 'Thread' does not exist in the current context`.

I already included the namespace using System.Threading;. See System.Threading.Thread.Sleep() on MSDN.

Try using the full Name Space in your code:

System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000);

I assume this is a Portable Class Library or Windows Store/Phone project targeting Windows Runtime which does not have such a construct.

An alternative and recommended way would be to use:

await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2));

or for a blocking call in case you are not in an async context:

Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)).Wait();

Similar issue is also brought out in this post.
