I have a Windows Service with a timer but the .Tick event is not being fired/called.
Don't know what code to include...I enabled and started the timer...I have the exact same code in a Windows form and it works fine, but in the service: nothing.
....
this.components = new System.Componen tModel.Containe r();
this.tmrTimer = new System.Windows. Forms.Timer(thi s.components);
//
// tmrTimer
//
this.tmrTimer.I nterval = 6;
this.tmrTimer.T ick += new System.EventHan dler(this.tmrTi mer_Tick);
....
//In OnStart or Initialization -- tried both...
tmrTimer.Start( );
tmrTimer.Enable d = true;
/*
also tried
tmrTimer.Enable d = true;
tmrTimer.Start( );
*/
....
private void tmrTimer_Tick(o bject sender, System.EventArg s e) {
tCurrTime = DateTime.Now;
EventLog.WriteE ntry("Timer Tick", "We have ticked...",
EventLogEntryTy pe.Error);
if (tCurrTime.Hour == 0){
DoMidNightServi ce();
}
Even a "did you check this" would be a great help.
Thanks,

Use either the Timer class from either System.Threadin g or System.Timers
instead.

In addition to the other comments.
In addition to the others comments, the following articles in MSDN Magazine
explain the difference between the three timer objects in .NET & when to use
each. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...T/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...3/default.aspx
The above articles also discusses if & how each timer interacts with
threading.
I'm using System.Timers.T imer (instead of System.Threadin g.Timer) in my
Windows Service, as I don't really need the extra features of
System.Threadin g.Timer. Either should work in your case.
Hope this helps

Thanks a ton!!!
I do have another question, do I mark this thread "answered" so in case anyone else is as boneheaded as me, they will be able to know the solution is here?
