Hi all
I am having application which is using server based timer that is timer
from namespace system.timer.
I am having windows service which i want to run after every 1 hour and
after every one hour i am sending mail.
In service.cs class i am creating one worker thread and in thread
procedure i am enabling one timer after thread procedure is completed
and in timer's elapsed event i am calling function of sending mail.
But even if i set interval as1 hours my code is sometime running
continuously means sending mail after 1 min only instead of after 1
hour which is increasing my mail box size.
Can some one tell me why thisis happening. Or can't i start timer in
thread procedure at the end of thread procedure.
Am i doing something wrong?
thanks in advance,
4  2335 
Can you post some code. I prefer the System.Threadin g.Timer timer myself.

If this thing needs to "Rip Van Winkle" for a full hour before it ever wakes
up and does something, I think you'd be better served by just writing it as a
console app and having Task Scheduler call it once an hour. No need to have
the overhead of a service just to have it wake up and do something once per
hour.

Hi,
thanks to ur reply.
but i want to know reason behind this as currently i am using timer in
all my application.
So changing it to console application will create some overheads for
me.
So please tell me why this is happening. I am not doing any heavy
processing which will require more than hour.
If u have any idea please help me.
thanks in advance.

Archana,
converting your app to a console app that gets run on a scheduled basis by
Task Scheduler should reduce, not increase the overhead, since a timer would
no longer be necessary. Your app would simply do its thing in its Main( )
method each time it is run and then quit. No service overhead, and only a
minimal memory footprint for a short period of time whenever it is run.

I have a puzzling form timer problem that I didn't experience prior to

Here's the situation: a computer has two access 2003 databases on it, a
frontend and a backend.
Case 1: If vba code on the frontend updates many rows (360,000) on the
backend, a form's timer event (from the frontend) will stop firing until the
user gives the form focus. (Note that the update itself always...
