How to delay code kind of like "ping localhost..." except in C#

Is it possible to run some code in C# , wait a few seconds, then keep going? I know you can use a timer but is there an easier, quicker way? Like in batch you can do:

echo Hello
 ping localhost -n 10 > nul
 echo World
 pause > nul
 

So can I do this in C# , and would it work with Winforms or just Console, because I need it for Winforms...
