timer functionality in .net

AVL
Hi,
I'm developing an online fun game called tambola...
The requirement is as follows
Each logged user will have a ticket generated for him..
The system should display the numbers from 1 to 99 after every 10 secs....

Presently, I've used a timer control to display the numbers after every 10
secs...
The problem with the timer control is that, it's causing a postback after
every 10 secs,,, which is a hit on the server..
I want to avoid this hit on the server.. Is there any other to achieve this
functionality in .net without much load on the server

If you don't generate the numbers server side, it'll allow users to hack
your app - is this a problem?

If not, you can use Javascript.

I think I've found a bug in the timer control. 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 label which represents a clock on a form, to which the original class has a reference. (MVC style) If the user clicks and holds the X button on the form

Hi, I am writing a timer class that I want to be able to get to notify me (via a callback func), when a specified interval has elapsed. I have most of the timer functionality figured - however, I need to spawn a new thread to carry out the "time watch" - and I need to do this in a cross platform (Well Linux/Windows) way ... Any help will be much appreciated. The code (snippet) follows below:

I'd like to be able to destroy a Timer in it's own event handler. That is, within it's tick handler I'd like to delete the Timer itself (e.g., for one-shot timers). Is this possible? In general, can a class instance destroy itself via one of it's own methods?

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

Using Visual Studio 2005, how would I go about creating an application-wide timer hosted in global.asax? There's certain processes I want to run every couple of minutes and have had success using tiemrs this way with VS.NET 2003. However, global.asax seems to have lost it's visual designer in the new VS 2005, so I tried manually creating a timer class in the Global() constructor, but the Elapsed event doesn't fire. My code is as follows:...

I have created an array of timers (1-n). At first I just created windows form timers but I read that system timers are better for background work. The timers will just be monitoring different directories and updating a database. No interaction with the GUI. Problem is that the system timers do not have a tag property so I can tie in an object. example (old way):

I have just put together a vb.net app and now need to provide it to users. This application needs to run the code in a sub every 60 seconds from a Windows Service application. I have the functionality of the sub working fine but I cannot figure out how to run the timer. The sub DoSomethingHere() needs to run every 60 seconds. It doesn't need to change the interval or anything like that. It just needs to run every 60 seconds as long as...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

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,...
