Syntax

public static class DateTimeExtensions

Methods

DelayUntil(DateTime)

Asynchronously pauses execution until a specified future point in time.

Declaration

public static Task DelayUntil(this DateTime futureDate)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
DateTime	futureDate	The date and time at which the delay concludes. Execution resumes as soon as this specified moment is reached or exceeded.

Returns

Type	Description
Task

Remarks

This method computes the time remaining until the 'futureDate' and initiates a non-blocking wait. If the system's date is adjusted, or if the calculated delay exceeds what Delay(int) can handle (Int32.MaxValue milliseconds), it recalculates and continues delaying. The method uses a default check interval of one minute, limiting the delay precision to roughly one minute. For more precise delay intervals, consider adjusting the check interval.

Examples

Example to pause execution until 5 minutes into the future:

DateTime futureTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5);
await futureTime.DelayUntil();
