if (e.Status == GeoPositionStatus.Ready)

{

// Display the latitude and longitude.

if (Watcher.Position.Location.IsUnknown)

{

//txtLat.Text = "Cannot find location data";

}

else

{

for (; ; )

{

FML fm = new FML();

GeoCoordinate location = Watcher.Position.Location;

var d = location.Latitude.ToString();

var ef = location.Longitude.ToString();

var name = Environment.MachineName;

fm.systemname = Environment.MachineName;

fm.latitude = d;

fm.longitude = ef;

fm.datetime = DateTime.Now;

db.FMLs.InsertOnSubmit(fm);

db.SubmitChanges();

Thread.Sleep(1000 * 60 * 60); // 60 Minutes

I just did a bit googling and found the following:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8815895/why-is-thread-sleep-so-harmful

This states why sleep cannot be used as a timer because it is not guaranteed to behave as expected.

As an alternative why don't you use Timer control and write your code in its Tick event? Just a thought!

Yes. @Nitin, that seems to be correct as OP has accepted your answer.

@Suvendu, I think he means hibernate mode.

What do you mean by system is in sleeping mode ?
Does it mean thread sleep?
