Gradual LED Strip Filling with Fez Cream?

Hi All;

So I have a Moisture Module, a Button, and an LED Strip. I have an event triggered by the button where I read the moisture and want to fill the LED strip accordingly:

float LEDSize = MaxMoisture / 7; //THERE ARE SEVEN LEDS WE COULD LIGHT UP

            ledstrip.TurnAllOff();
            int iterations = (int)Math.Floor(reading / LEDSize);

            for (int i = 0; i < iterations; i++)
            {
                ledstrip.TurnOn(i);
            }

I want to slow down the filling of the LED strip so there’s a half second pause between each LED lighting up, but it seems there’s no System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(), does anyone know how its done in IoT land?

@ andre.m - Works perfectly!

var rawdata = moisture.GetReading();
var reading = rawdata * 100;    //INITIAL VALUE WILL BE BETWEEN 0 AND 1, MOVE DECIMAL TWO PLACES FOR PERCENTAGE

float LEDSize = MaxMoisture / 7; //THERE ARE SEVEN LEDS WE COULD LIGHT UP

ledstrip.TurnAllOff();
int iterations = (int)Math.Floor(reading / LEDSize);

for (int i = iterations - 1; i >= 0; i--) //LEDS FILL RED TO GREEN BY REVERSING THE LOOP
{
    ledstrip.TurnOn(i);
    Sleep(250);
}
