Title
Body
I have created a simple WPF Application and added a button to the default window. When I click on the button, a simulated long working method(simulated using a Thread.Sleep(15000) is called. I am trying to make the button execute asynchronously however despite following online examples, the button and entire window locks as soon as I click and remains so until the Thread.Sleep(...) finishes. Any ideas why this is happening? Here is the code: private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e) { DoSomeAsyncWork(); } private void DoSomeAsyncWork() { System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher.Run(); Thread thread = new System.Threading.Thread( new System.Threading.ThreadStart( delegate() { Application.Current.Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(DispatcherPriority.Normal, new Action(() => Thread.Sleep(15000))); } )); thread.Start(); }
