How To Use System.threading.timer
Nov 4, 2009
I have used system.timers.timer to watch several folders and move files in my windows service. But the timer event stops now and then. I have read that it is better to use system.threading.timer in services.This is my system.timers.timer
Private Timer As New System.Timers.Timer
AddHandler Timer.Elapsed, New System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(AddressOf Me.Timer_Elapsed)
Timer.Interval = 4000
Timer.Start()
[code]....
How do this code look like in system.threading.timer?How do i start and stop the timer using threading? That is very important because i stop the timer when it comes to the elapsed event and when the code har run it starts the timer again!

Trying to get System.Threading.Timer to work!! I am converting a small form based application to run as a services, The app just runs an monitors a folder and then when it finds a file to does some work on it. Having changed the form.timer to threading.timmer - The timer stopps working after a while. Below is a simple test services - when you look in to the text file it stops after approx 130 entries

I am a newbie, but I am unable to get this code working. FileSweeper is supposed to start a timmer that triggers fileCopy on a web server. fileSweeoer is triggered by global.asax.ileCopy then will copy the filWould it make any difference if this was a class running on a web server?

I have used timers in .Net for a long time now an never had this problem.Start timer to fire every 10 seconds that reads an object and updates the UI using a delegate.This works great until the form is minimized several times, then the timer thread seems to vanish.Anyone come across this before?
Obviously I can roll my own using a thread directly and sleeping it, however this seems like reinventing the wheel when a threading timer class exists already.
Code: Private Sub m_Tmr_Tick(ByVal state As Object)

I've been trying to get this part of my code to work but it hasn't done anything. I'm trying to create a function that sends an email everyday at a specific time. I thought threading.timer would work but i haven't figured it out yet. I don't get errors when its executed but it also does nothing. If someone could tell me whats going on with this piece of code,

I need an accurate timer to interface a Windows application to a piece of lab equipment.I used System.Timers.Timer() to create a timer that ticks every 10 msec, but this clock runs slow. For example 1000 ticks with an interval of 10 msec should take 10 wall-clock seconds, but it actually takes more like 20 wall-clock sec (on my PC). I am guessing this is because System.Timers.Timer() is an interval timer that is reset every time it elapses. Since it will always take some time between when the timer elapses and when it is reset (to another 10msec) the clock will run slow. This probably fine if the interval is large (seconds or minutes) but unacceptable for very short intervals.Is there a function on Windows that will trigger a procedure every time the system clock crosses a 10 msec (or whatever) boundary?
UPDATE: System.Timers.Timer() is extremely inaccurate for small intervals.I wrote a simple program that counted 10 seconds several ways:
Interval=1, Count=10000, Run time = 160 sec, msec per interval=16
Interval=10, Count=1000, Run time = 16 sec, msec per interval=15
Interval=100, Count=100, Run time = 11 sec, msec per interval=110
Interval=1000, Count=10, Run time = 10 sec, msec per interval=1000
It seems like System.Timers.Timer() cannot tick faster that about 15 msec, regardless of the interval setting.Note that none of these tests seemed to use any measurable CPU time, so the limit is not the CPU, just a .net limitation (bug?)For now I think I can live with an inaccurate timer that triggers a routine every 15 msec or so and the routine gets an accurate system time. Kinda strange, but...I also found a shareware product ZylTimer.NET that claims to be a much more accurate .net timer (resolution of 1-2 msec). This may be what I need. If there is one product there are likely others.

I'm using a Threading.DispatcherTimer and every tick of the timer runs a subroutine. Is it possible that if the subroutine takes longer then 1s for the processor to finish that it will mess up the time of the timer that is counting in seconds?

Here is the stack trace:
2012-03-16 19:15:09Z E System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at System.Timers.Timer.set_Enabled(Boolean value)
at System.Timers.Timer.Stop()
Here's the code:
Timer declared as private member variable.
Private _myTimer As System.Timers.Timer
Initialize timer method.
[code]....
The timer has to have a value or else the Timer.Stop() call would be throwing the exception. This is a sporadic error and I'm just trying to see if anyone has experienced this before or if anyone has any ideas of what could be causing it. It is occuring in a WinForms application in the event handler for the Elapsed event of the Timer, but it is only occuring sporadically on the users computer. I haven't been able to reproduce the error myself.

I have the following code. My program loads 20 pictures in one panel and each pictures has for the moment like 500 Kb, but in the future they shall have like 2~6 Mb.When I use this part of code, my program that uses only 6 Mb of memory, but jumpes at 202 Mb when pics are loaded. I need a method to resize or make them thumbnail or something to reduce the memory.I don't know for the moment how to use the System.Threading, but I want to know if it shall help my program, if not, then help me replace parts of my code.Private Sub PanelPictures(ByVal picsoriz As Integer) ' picoriz represents how many pictures should the panel have on each row (it's set at 5 pictures per line/row) [code]

I'm developing an adding for office powerpoint application.I'm trying to display a description of the object(Customized object) currently dropped on the powerpoint slide in design mode(Design mode of the powerpoint).When i click on my addin the related object description will be displayed on a tabbed window as the first tabpage.
There is a button on the tab page, and when i click on it i need the description to get copied to windows clipboard.I tried this using clipboardclass it throws the following exception, System.Threading.ThreadstateException {"Current thread must be set to single thread apartment (STA) mode before OLE calls can be made. Ensure that your Main function has STAThreadAttribute marked on it."}
Code for clipboard:
Clipboard.Clear()
Clipboard.SetText(lblObjectID.Text)
I searched the net for a solution and got couple of answers like, Put [STAThread] in the main function Thread.CurrentThread.SetApartmentState(ApartmentState.STA) Immediately before your call to SetDataObject.
But I'm not sure where to put the 1st one and the 2nd option didn't work.

I'm just looking for other people's thoughts and opinions on the way I have done something.I have a console application which needs to connect to various computers and reset the local admin password on each one. I got it all working but then decided that as there are a lot of PCs, it would be a good idea to use the thread pool to do a few at the same time.The problem is, I need this program to be run without any human interaction - so I cant just use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem and pass it all of the computers to connect to, because then the program would exit after it had called QueueUserWorkItem for each one because there is nothing left for it to do. I cant stick a Console.ReadLine in there because like I said, it needs to be run automatically without anyone typing anything.

Multi threading in vb.net, in one of our program I provided an automatic error notification system that gives alert to my email when an exception error is occurred. The error notification includes the name of the form, the exception error details, the event name and the screenshot of the software during that particular instant.

In vb6 you used timer for the randomize seed.I noticed vb10 no longer uses it. Does this mean by default it uses the system timer for the seed?

I have an application that I'm writing that needs to run 3 different Timers. One that will run every 5 minutes, 1 that will run every hour and 1 that has to run once a day sometime after 5:00 P.M. I know that I can seperate the application into 3 seperate applications and use Windows Scheduled Tasks to perform this however I would prefer to have everything in 1 application and just run the different Sub/Functions off of the appropriate Timer. I'm trying also figure out a way to avoid 2 timers firing at the same time.
What i would like to do is tell the 5 minute timer to run say 2 minutes after every 5 minute mark in the our so the first one would be at 12:07 and then the next would be at 12:12 and so on. The hour timer should run sa at 12:20. The daily one run at say 5:31.Is it possible to use the System.timer or the System.Threading.timer in this way?

For the last couple of days I been trying to add items to a listbox from another class within a system.timer.
They just don't appear in the listbox. I don't get any errors. The items just don't get added :S.
I have:
Form.vb
make object of Control
Control.vb
Here I have a system.timer
In the Timer_Elapsed method I do this: form.listbox1.items.add("hello")
But it just doesn't work... When I add a new item to the listbox1 from the constructor or another method that has nothing to do with the timer it works...

I have a problem with the Timer class in that there is a chance that a timer would fire right before you call Dispose() since you will probably call Dispose() from some other thread. You may have something like:
Public Sub TimerTick() Handles itsTimer.Elapsed
Do Something
End Sub
And then from somewhere else in the code, when your app is done, you call
itsTimer.Dispose()
The only way I can think of doing this is:
Public Sub SomeMethod()
SyncLock(itsTimer.SynchronizingObject)
itsTimer.Dispose()[code]...
This is not a great thing to do esp. since I am holding a lock on an object I am disposing. I can create my own lock and syncLock on that but is there a simple way?
