To suspend the current thread for a specified number of milliseconds:

int milliseconds = 1000;
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(milliseconds);

We do not recommend that you do this. What is the logic you need implemented?

I need some Idea for make cRobot works like metatrader script .

I try to make loop while(true) into cRobot with Sleep() to allow cAlgo to work without interruption

If I want to execute a function with 2 seconds delay to set a new SL, how can I code that. Should I use Timer class, or is there a better alternative?

We recommend that you add all logic in the OnTick method instead of using a while loop. Using a while loop with the Sleep method will affect performance.

Is there a way to force the cAlg to trigger OnTick() event from outside cAlgo with some API function .

I Want sometimes to Buy or Sell without wait the Price to change in cAlgo .

You could code the logic in the OnStart method and then start the cBot whenever it is necessary. This way you may run script-like cBots that do not depend on incoming ticks.
Very soon cBots will be included in cTrader, so you may attach multiple cBots to a chart and then start and stop whichever one you choose at any given moment.
