I have an ASP.NET application and I would like to have some code run
on the server automatically once a day at a specified time.
I create a timer thread to call a simple callback in the
Application_Sta rt method. It seems to call the callback once or twice
while the application starts up but appears to stop once the default
page is displayed. Here is the code below (from Global.asax.cs) :
public static void ProcessAccounts (object state) {
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter (@"c:\temp\test callback.txt",
true);
writer.WriteLin e (DateTime.Now.T oLongTimeString ());
writer.Close ();
}
protected void Application_Sta rt(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TimerCallback callback = new TimerCallback (ProcessAccount s);
Timer timer = new Timer (callback, null, 0, 5000);
}
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Todd. 4 2682
the easiest way to do this is to drop a timer control onto your global.asax
designer. Then customize it like you normally would using the interval
settings. In the event handler you would just put your processaccounts code.
Let .net do the management work for you instead of you doing it.

Alvin, thanks for your help.
The drag and drop of the timer control from the Components gallery
creates a server-based timer. My previous approach was creating a thread
timer.
The server-based timer appears to be basically working but I have two
new problems with this approach.
Firstly, it appears to fire the Elapsed event twice (one second apart)
each time the specified interval elapses (in my test case 15 seconds).
Second, I couldn't see how to easily set an initial elapse time followed
by regular intervals of a standard elapse time (as you can with the
System.Threadin g.Timer class).
Regards,
Todd

As i can see you have following
protected void Application_Sta rt(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
TimerCallback callback = new TimerCallback (ProcessAccount s);
Timer timer = new Timer (callback, null, 0, 5000);
}
what is the scope of the timer object?
I hope you are getting my drift.
In any normal language timer will disappear as soon as you left the Start.
In .NET it's at random (whenever GS will eat you timer).
the same goes to the callback.

I've got a class which uses a timer control.
It imports it from System.Windows.Forms
This timer ticks once a second, and then updates a

Hello everybody
I got confused by this problem for which I don't have a logical explanation.
There is a Thread (ThreadA) which receives Events from another system thread
(ThreadS). ThreadA then adds a time stamp to the received event and adds it
to a event queue. This works well (therfore not shown here). The queue fills
up.
Then I used a timer to check every millisecond for new events in the queue
and send it to another thread...

Hello,
Wow...I have one for you all and hopefully I am not understanding this timer
object correctly. I have a timer setup that pulses a connection through a
socket every 60 seconds. But it seems recently connections just drop off
because the timer stops firing.
My question is if there is a timeout in the timer event that just shuts down
the call if the timer event is taking too long to complete...?

Hello everyone,
I have made a service that starts timers when it starts. I have
another windows form application that stops and starts the service. Do
I need to deal with any started timers when the service stops? Being
new at this service stuff, I don't know if it holds state or memory
and I need to stop all active timers or if the magical gc will come
along and help out.
Thanks, I hope that makes sense.
