Hi,
I was trying to do something in a Thread that starts by a
timer. I turn off the timer at the begining of the thread
incase it fires again when the thread is still running. Then
turn on the timer again before the thread finishes. To my
surprise, the timer never come alive again once it has been
turned of in the thread. To test the problem I made a simple
Windows Form project, put a Beep() in the timer. It supposed
to hear beep beep beep every one seconds, but can only hear
one. Here enclosed my clode below. Any help or suggestions are
really appreciated.
Regards,
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
There are 3 timers
windows.forms.f orm.timer
System.timers.t imer
System.threadin g.timer
The one you are using now is as far as I can see the
windows.forms.f orm.timer and I think not the one the most suitable for your
problem.

Thanks for your suggestion. The System.threadin g.timer works great! Just
curious, I also tried System.timers.t imer, that works as well.
Don't understand why the System.Windows. Forms.Timer has the strange
problem. Maybe it is by design, but why vb.net doesn't give a compile error
or warning something. I wonder if it does the same thing in C#.

You must access the timer from the thread that created the timer.

Hi Cor, windows.forms .form.timer
Whenever time is elapsed it puts an event in the message queue and
windows will work on one message after one. Suppose you have set timer
interval at 200ms there is not guarantee that it will come to ur
Timertick event at 200 ms
System.timers .timer
This runs on the forms thread and also has the accuracy of time so
timertick event will happen after 200 ms
System.thread ing.timer
This runs on a different thread but has the same functionlity as
systems.timer.t ime so we need to be careful while updating the form
variables as windows forms are not thread safe.

Vincent,
In addition to the others comments, the following recent articles in MSDN
Magazine explain the difference between the three thread objects in .NET &
when to use each. http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...T/default.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...3/default.aspx
Hope this helps
Jay
And yes, C# will exhibit the same basic behavior.
Hope this helps
Jay

Hi,
I have a periodic problem which I am having a real time trying to sort.
Background:
An MDI VB app with a DB on SQL 2000.
I have wrapped all the DB access into an object which spawns a thread to
access the database and then displays a modal dialog which allows the user
to cancel the task, if it is taking longer than they want, and shows them a
display of how long the query has been running so far.

Hello everybody
I got confused by this problem for which I don't have a logical explanation.
There is a Thread (ThreadA) which receives Events from another system thread
(ThreadS). ThreadA then adds a time stamp to the received event and adds it
to a event queue. This works well (therfore not shown here). The queue fills
up.
Then I used a timer to check every millisecond for new events in the queue
and send it to another thread...
