Sleep only works for the current thread which calls the Sleep method.

Solution 1

It suspends only the thread in which it is called.

MSDN reference[^]

Something you could have found easily, why waste your time asking this?

what if u have 2 threads running and u want to suspend only one of them
you r calling Thread.sleep(time) not by the thread name.
thats what confusing me

Again, read the documentation.

The only thread that sleeps is the thread that calls Thread.Sleep. No other threads are affected.

Sleep is static / shared method on Thread. You shouldn't call it from particular instance. And it puts to sleep ONLY the thread it was called from. Your other thread(s) keep running.

Solution 2

Place the Cursor in visual Studio on the Sleep call.
Hit F1 key
Read the MSDN-docu
Make it a habbit if some question about a .NET Framework method, object, whatever comes to your mind.
If nothing helps THEN write questions on CP
