System.Timer problem

Hello!

I have a application that uses the system.timer object. My big problem is
when the application starts, fire the elapsed event.

In the form_load event, i use the try command and inside this, make the
elapsed time equal to 10000. So, only after 10 seconds, should the
timer_elapsed event be fired, but no.

Does anyone had the same problem?

Thanks,

Sérgio Cardoso

Not really. Make sure your call to start the timer is the last line of code
in form_load if you want to wait 10 seconds from the time you see the form.

Hi, I don't know if it's already known but I found a bug in System.Timers.Timer class. The 'Interval' property accepts a double which specifies the interval between two 'Elapsed' events. The 'Start' method just sets the 'Enabled' property to true. And the problem lies in the 'Enabled' property. It casts the interval value to an integer and calls the constructor of the System.Threading.Timer class which only accepts a non-negative...

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 time to close property which is checked every time the Elapsed event fires. The problem I have...

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 events to queue up. I'm attempting to get the timers to sync on some reference type object, or use...

I'll greatly appreciate any help on this. Actually 2 questions: 1. I believe I need to use the Windows timer System.Timers.Timer . The examples I find on the web all access that timer by 'import System' . (That's System with a capital S.) I have pywin32 installed and 'import System' doesn't find System so I gather it's not in that package. Where does one get the package with Windows' System class? 2. The reason I've been...

I'm looking into a production issue related to a windows service and System.Timers.Timer. The background is the windows service uses a System.Timers.Timer to periodically poll a directory location on a network for files and then copies these files to another location (on the network) AND then updates a record in the database. The file copying is performed before the database update because the file system is not transactional. The code...

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,...
