Howdy all,
I found the solution and I will post here for future search in this
topic. I created a MyTimer class outside of my main class. Inside my
main class I created a new instance of the MyTimer class and work with
the methods Start and Stop inside my main class.
The MyTimer code is here:
/*************************************/
using System;
using System.Threading;
namespace DexCommunicator
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for StopWatch.
/// </summary>
public class MyTimer
{
private DateTime startTime;
private DateTime stopTime;
private bool running = false;
public void Start()
{
this.startTime = DateTime.Now;
this.running = true;
}
public void Stop()
{
this.stopTime = DateTime.Now;
this.running = false;
}
//elaspsed time in milliseconds
public double GetElapsedTime()
{
TimeSpan interval;
if (running)
{
interval = DateTime.Now - startTime;
}
else
{
interval = stopTime - startTime;
}
return interval.TotalMilliseconds;
}
//elaspsed time in seconds
public double GetElapsedTimeSecs()
{
TimeSpan interval;
if (running)
{
interval = DateTime.Now - startTime;
}
else
{
interval = stopTime - startTime;
}
return interval.TotalSeconds;
}
}
}
/*************************************/

Good, so could you show me an example?
I know that we have to declare a System.Threading and the Timer object
cames from this hierarchy but the problem is that I don't know how.
Have we to declare the Timer by hand instead of use the Timer object
form?
I saw the declaration in this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/de...classtopic.asp
For a Class Library, is not possible to use the System.Windows
declaration.
Many thanks,

problem with this.

Hi Justin,
will this work for .NET compact framework. This class will run for a
handheld.
