Timer Array

[Scott McNair]

Hi,

I'm trying to convert a VB ocx into a .NET dll. This dll ties into several
automated doors at our facility, and each door has a timer event attached
to it. When the user swipes his access card, he has a predetermined amount
of time (5 seconds) to open the door before the strike is re-enabled and
the door re-locks.

My problem is that I cannot declare an array of timers in .NET; I get the
error "'WithEvents' variables cannot be typed as arrays."

How would I work around this issue?

Regards,
Scott

Declare an array of timers, and then use AddHandler/RemoveHandler to
add/remove event registrations manually.

What kind of timer are you using?

System.Timer?
System.Threading.Timer?
System.Window.Forms.Timer?

Just a generic System.Window.Forms.Timer for this instance.

Since this is a background process, you should use System.Timer.Timer.

Forms.Timer uses the message pump... so if your app is under load, the
timers are not accurate.
