System.Timers.T imer/System.Threadin g.Timer Not Firing At All on Dev Server

Hello,

System.Timers.T imer/System.Threadin g.Timer do not fire on my
development server, yet they work perfectly on the production server.
I would appreciate any help on what the cause of this could be.

I am convinced it is not the code since the code works on another
machine.

Thanks,

James

I'm not sure what you're doing exactly, but I'm surprised timers are working
in a useful way for you at all in an ASP.NET application.
Each page request generally only lasts for a fraction of a second, so using
a timer within that context is something near worthless.
If you need an event to happen reliably on your server on a regular basis, a
windows services is usually the best approach.

Here's more information on Windows Services:

Hi all Every week, I need to get two files on a remote server. I have developped a C# Windows Service with two System.Threading.Timer to do this task For the first one, the delay (TimeSpan dueTime) is always set to 6 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, .. Some weeks ?!?, the timer restarts immediately after its execution (and loop indefinitely). I have made a lot of tests and this issue does not occur with a delay < 1 day .. Any suggestion

I'm running into an issue where I have a timer that appears to be timing out immediately, when it shouldn't be timing out for about int.MaxValue milliseconds. I have written a small app that isolates the problem and was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what I am doing wrong, or if there is some known bug, or I am exceeding some known maximum (which I can't seen to find in documentation anywhere...) Anyway, the following code used to...

Hi Guys, I am creating a Windows service that call a routine at given interval. Once routine is complete, windows service should wait for 5 minutes and then call the routine again. I was using System.Timers.Timer but i had to remove it because of known bug(842739). Now i am using System.Threading.Timer. It executes routine fine but the delay time is sporadic, sometimes it executes routine after 5 minutes, sometimes 10 minuete, 13...

Hi, I've seen several articles about using System Timers in ASP.NET solutions, specifically setting them up in Global.asax' Application_OnStart event. I'm thinking about the scenario where I might need to carry out some back-end processing without pausing the individual users' Session while that process runs. E.g. I might provide the ability for a user to upload a text file of job

I have a windows application written using VB .NET that encompasses a countdown timer modal dialog. The timer is a System.Timers.Timer with an interval of 1 second. AutoReset is not set so accepts the default of True. The Elapsed event handler updates the dialog box with how long before it will close, acting as a timer itself. The dialog has a time to close property which is checked every time the Elapsed event fires. The problem I have...

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...?

I'm looking into a production issue related to a windows service and System.Timers.Timer. The background is the windows service uses a System.Timers.Timer to periodically poll a directory location on a network for files and then copies these files to another location (on the network) AND then updates a record in the database. The file copying is performed before the database update because the file system is not transactional. The code...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
