Single timer_tick() for multiple timers, how to get the sender

[nunu21]

How do I know which Timer_Tick which timer object has raised the tick event?
Please refer some code.

You plan to use the same _tick() function for multiple timers?
What is the point of that?

At any rate, the "object sender" parameter that gets passed in, will tell you which object triggered the event.

yes i plan to use the same_tick() function.
can u please send me some code to fetch that object and index of timer array using "object sender" parameter.

Once again, it doesn't make sense to use the same handler, but the "sender" parameter is a reference to the object that fired the event.

So you'd have to do something like

if(sender == timer1)
  something;
else if(sender == timer2)
  somethingelse;

Or in your case you can loop through the array, comparing each iteration to sender.

actually i am creating a array of System.Timers.timer. So it is nothing basically a one timer.
like timer[0];
timer[1] like this.

So i want to know which timer array has raised the tick event.

Like I said:

i have created a timer array like this:

for (int i = 0; i < totalNumberOfThreads; i++)
                {
                tmrThread[totalNumberOfThreads] = new System.Timers.Timer();
 
                tmrThread[totalNumberOfThreads].Enabled = true;
                tmrThread[totalNumberOfThreads].Interval = 120000;
                tmrThread[totalNumberOfThreads].Elapsed +=new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer1_Tick);
}
 
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
 
            if (workerThreads[iIndex].IsAlive)
            {
                workerThreads[iIndex].Abort();
                workerThreads[iIndex].Start();
            }
 
        }
 

in this case hoq could i know which timer object has raised the tick event. and then i want the index of that timer array.using that index i will start the thread.

Please help me out.

Use the sender object like we said:

for (int i = 0; i < tmrThread.Length; i++)
{
   if (sender==tmrThread[i])
   {//this is the one that sent the request
   }
}
 

[nunu21]

i am doing this

for (int i = 0; i < tmrThread.Length; i++)
            {
                if (sender == tmrThread[i])
                {
                    workerThreads[i].Abort();
                    workerThreads[i].Start();
                }
            }

but it's not working.

Please use [code] tags when you post code. It makes it far easier for us to read, and the easier it is for us, the more likely you are to get good help.

soryy but it's not working.

[nunu21]

In sender value is 'System.Timers.Timer' and in tmrThread[i] the value is different.

How it is going to check?

[Plater]

tmrThread[i] is an isntance of System.Timers.Timer, the sender object is a System.Timer.Timer, this should not be a difficult concept?
Or did I miss something?

Its not any different then assigning a single buttonclick eventhandler to multiple buttons.
