timer.enabled vs. timer.start()

[Andreas Hohn]

Hi,

what is the right way to start a timer?

timer.enabled = true

or

timer.start()?
Why are there two possibilities anyway?

Is .enabled the old VB6-way? and .Start() the new .NET-way?

Thankx for your help.

Greetings.

Hi,
Timer's "Enabled" property can be used to check whether it's running
and enabled in a if-else block, Start method starts ticking.
Furthermore, "Enabled=True" property can be used to start the timer
also in the same way like "Enabled=False" does the same as Timer's
"Stop" method.

Thanks,

If you are referring to System.Timers.Timer:
<http://bytes.com/forum/thread386223.html>

If you mean System.Windows.Form.Timer, then this
<http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.timer.start.aspx>
suggests that both methods are equivalent.
