Hi,
What is the best way to release all resources holded by the Timer
(myTimer from class System.Timers.T imer)?
Is it:
1- myTimer.dispose
2- myTimer.enabled = false
3- myTimer.close
I want to have the timer set to nothing so I can recreate a new one, I
want to do this in a second step:
myTimer = New System.Timers.T imer
AddHandler myTimer.Elapsed , AddressOf ListenToRequest
myTimer.Interva l = 100
myTimer.Enabled = True
I am asking this because it seem that the timer loop a couple of time
before being stopped, and raising errors by the way.
This is my original code:
myTimer.Dispose ()
myTimer = New System.Timers.T imer
AddHandler tmrClientQwery. Elapsed, AddressOf ListenToRequest
myTimer.Interva l = 100
myTimer.Enabled = True
Thank you very much 2 9004
The Timer.Enabled actually destroys the timer internally anyway. The extra
timer event's you're seeing are probably due to messages that are in the
queue. This can happen if you do a lot of processing in the timer tick
handler such as drawing on screen or disc access.
A more accurate and reliable timer can be found in System.Threadin g. The
dlegate for this timer is called directly and there are never any messages
hanging around in the queue.

Thanks ,
I tried this System.Threadin g.Timer. Is it possible that it
automatically create many threads that run the code in the elapsed event?
How can I be sure that I have only one thread under this timer?
Thank you!

Help! I am new to Visual Basic .Net (version 2002) and I am trying to get a
System.Timers.Timer to work for me to display a splash screen for about two
seconds and then load the main form. I have two forms (frmSplash and
frmMain) and a code Module setup as my startup object.
Here is the code that I have, when I try to run this part of the splash
screen form shows and then program terminates. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks,

Hi all,
I set up a System.Timers.Time in my app. The code basically just updates
the screen, but since the processing performed is so CPU-intensive, I wanted
to make sure it gets updated regularly; like every 1.5 secs. or so. I only
ran into one issue - the MyTimer_Elapsed event handler was not updating the
screen correctly all the time, often leaving large chunks of the screen
un-painted for several seconds.
On a whim I decided to...

When using system.timers.timer, which should one use to start/stop the
timer? Start/Stop, or Enabled=True/False? If what I read is true, both
really do the same thing, so I don't know if there is an advantage to
using one over the other.
Just curious... Thanks in advance.

I'm have a datagrid, and I'm trying to have a tooltip pop up if a cell has

then decided to try this instead:

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...

Hi,
I'm creating an application that will need to use a timer to do a
static method call every second. My question, is what would be the
best timer to use? I know there are several, but I'd like to use a
timer that is probably the most reliable, and hopefully designed with
high performance in mind. Thank you in advance.
