C# Task.Delay()和Thread.Sleep()有什么区别？

     很多时候我们需要做一段延时处理，就直接Thread.Sleep(n)处理了，但实际上延时也可以用Task.Delay(n)，那二者之间有没有区别呢？

我们先来看一个案例：

using System;
using System.Threading;
using System.Threading.Tasks;


namespace ConsoleApp22
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            //Good writing
            Task.Run(async () =>
            {
                int delayTimeCount = 0;
                while (true)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"Delay第{++delayTimeCount}秒");
                    await Task.Delay(1000);
                }
            });


            //Bad writing
            Task.Run(() =>
            {
                int sleepTimeCount = 0;
                while (true)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine($"Thread{++sleepTimeCount}秒");
                    Thread.Sleep(1000);
                }
            });


            Console.ReadKey();
        }
    }
}

运行结果：

区别：

①.Thread.Sleep()是同步延迟，既然是同步的，自然会阻塞当前线程；Task.Delay()是异步延迟，则不会阻塞线程；
②.Thread.Sleep()不能中途取消，Task.Delay()可以，delay有四个重载方法，需要取消的话，可以调用Delay(int millisecondsDelay, CancellationToken cancellationToken)这个方法；

③在异步代码中通常使用await关键字调用Task.Delay()，而不是Thread.Sleep()；
