Elapsed exists, Tick doesn't...

Or more specifically, Tick/Elapsed are (broadly*) equivalent on
System.Windows. Forms.Timer and System.Timers.T imer

*=watch out: System.Timers.T imer.Elapsed fires on an arbitrary thread,
so you may need to synchronise.

How come the eventhandler for the timer's elapsed time event is called over and over again, even though the AutoReset property is set to false, if you assign a new value to the timer objects interval property inside the event handler? Example follows: Constructor: mTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(20000); mTimer.AutoReset = false;

I was testing this with .NET Framework 2.0. Exceptions in the Elapsed event handler of a System.Timers.Timer are ignored, they are not handled by the runtime and not reported (when running outside of VS.NET) either. Ther Timer continues as if nothing happened. Is this the desired behaviour, because this would have very negative impact on...

All, I have a Windows Service and it has one System.Timers.Timer that fires every 500 milliseconds. Now I have noticed that there's a bug in System.Timers.Timer when it's being used combined with Windows Service. That is, the Timer won't fire again once it's stopped (Timer.Stop() or Timer.Enabled = False)...

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...

I have a class that instantiates two Timer objects that fire at different intervals. My class can be instantiated within a Windows Form or from a Windows Service. Actions performed by one of the event handlers may take longer than the interval for either of the timers, so it's possible for multiple events to fire "simultaneously" and for...
