Exceptions in timers

[TT (Tom Tempelaere)]

Hi all,

What would happen if I let an exception escape a timer thread, as in the
following example. Would the behaviour be any different when done from a
timer that is synchronized with a Form (so SynchronizingObject = Form
instance)? Is there any difference in behaviour when comparing 1.1 vs 2.0?

using System.Timers;
class Bar
{
private System.Timers.Timer bazTimer;

public void Foo( )
{
bazTimer = new System.Timers.Timer( );
bazTimer.AutoReset = true;
bazTimer.Interval = 1000;
bazTimer.SynchronizingObject = null; // threadpool
bazTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler( TimeThis );
bazTimer.Enabled = true;
}

private void TimeThis( )
{
throw new InvalidOperationException( );
}

[STAThread]
static void Main( )
{
Bar b = new Bar( );
b.Foo( );
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep( 100000 );
}
}

Kind Regards,
