I have almost half code done but after trying the all tricks and logic I didn't got any thing the out put is not proper as which I want.
The code is as follows

View 38 RepliesI am having a mental block on how to work out a 15 minute timer that is shown on a label and counts down so that the user can watch it. I can do it just fine in seconds but I need to put it into the format of 15:00 and then have it count down the seconds and the the minutes when ever it drops 60 seconds. I found a few articles on using the dateNow syntax but that seems like it would only be good for adding time not subtracting it. Also I know I can set up a button to start and stop the timer but is it possible to use the space bar as the start/stop button?

I am trying to make a Process Estimator application. It should tell the user how fast hes computer is. The output should be the number to calculate to and how much time did it take in mili-seconds (timer interval set to 100). I enable the timer before it starts calculating, but the problem is when it start calculating the timer stops for some reason...
This is the

am really getting to know more about programming each day. really interesting.
i have a form with some labels.. i need each label to display a text after certain time of the time count. i have this piece i put together.. didnt work but i guess it need a little professional touch.

Problem (1) Basically I got a Sub handling a button click, in the Sub I start my timer. In the timer_tick, a value is assigned to a variable and then the timer stops. This variable at the given time should be used later on the sub, however whats currently happening is that the the timer is starting; but I figured the sub must continue going as the variable dosn't change till the sub ends and then the timer begins to do all its ticks so to say.So basically how would one go about making it so that once I start my timer,for the sub to stay where it is, do everything till the timer stops and then continues.
Problem (2) This is in regards to the timer being broken, basically i'll show my code below. Whats happening is that at "ElseIf county = publicx Then" the timer must be stopping right before, as it's not doing the if statement and in my form nothing is changing and its locked as the timer hasn't finished. In my timer the form should unlock before finishing, so I know for sure its not finishing. So whats going on with my timer, why is it freezing on me? Also, for the record @ count=publicx both values are 1 and the countertime=0; so the variables are correct.
Private Sub Timer_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer.Tick
Dim CwStich As Boolean = False
Dim pbName As String = ("PB" & county & publicy)[code]......
I have three sets of labels, lbl_seconds, lbl_minutes and lbl_hours. These labels have the default value of 00:00 and I want the timer to change that for each label. I have googled this but I cannot seem to find any good info on it. Do I need three separate timers? I have also noticed that the timers have their own tick event handler. I guess it's in this that I need to change the value of the label. But I cannot figure out how to do just that.
View 2 RepliesI have a this program I have to write but I have no clue where to even start.New Years Ball Drop?Design a program that replicates the Times Square New Year�s Eve ball drop. You can use a picture from the Internet of the ball you wish to use.Functionality Requirements:
-The ball will take exactly 30 seconds to move down the pole
-Need a timer to count down from 30 and reach 0 when the ball is at the end of the pole
-The timer will randomly change colour every few seconds
- When the ball has finished descending, the text �Happy New Year!� will display on the screen
-Need a button on the form that, when clicked, stops the ball drop and timer (so screenshots can be taken). When the button is clicked again, the timer and ball drop should resume from where it left off.

View 1 RepliesI have some reports that I use with the MS ReportViewer and I need to get a count of the physical pages (as opposed to logical page count) to use with a print dialog. I've implemented a workaround so the ReportViewer control displays the correct number of physical pages, but is there a way to get that value from the ReportViewer control? The only publicly accessible property gives the logical page count.

View 6 RepliesI 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 have a timer on a page in ASP.NET.
After a certain period of time elapses, I want to disable the timer.
I want to put a static variable in the timers tick event that will track how many seconds have elapsed.
My question is, will this work?
If user X and Y are viewing the page will they both have separate local static variables?
What is the best method of shutting down an ASP.NET timer after a certain elapsed time?
I have a windows application that need to process som quite time consuming jobs. In my first try i did all processing under
the form thread. The result was bad response and update of the form due to the heavy jobs.To get around the problem with bad response from the form i created a new class "processing" where i put all the data processing. Then i instanciated a background worker where i in the "doWork" sub created a new instance of "processing".The "processing" class creates a timer from system.timer, and the timer drives the processing.On the Timer event Elapsed the timer starts a new thread from the thread pool.
My problem is now when i want to asynchronously close the background worker (with the corresponding function call what ever it is called ...) there is still a timer thread out there that causes exceptions for me.
1. How can i close my background worker and at the same time have the timer to be stopped?
2. Is there a way to synchronize the timer event so that the timer executes from the background worker thread?
3. Is there a better approach for me to adapt?
this its a very silly problem i have with CheckBoxList control, i dont know if its just me or what but the whole idea of the control its just great but the implementation its very confusing.
im trying to eval something like this
if CheckBoxList.Items.Item(CheckBoxList.Items.Count-1).Checked=true then.....
or something like
CheckBoxList.CheckedItems.Item(CheckBoxList.Items.Count-1) = Checked then...
the problem its that i dont know how does the checkboxlist works but it just sucks that they had to make it so confuising....

I want to create an array of timer in vb.net. My problem is that how will i raise the tick event for a particular timer, say mytimer(x).tick and inside the tick event there is also a button, say mybutton(x) which changes location every interval. for example:
public class blah
dim mybuttons(20) as button
dim mytimer(20) as timer
private sub form_load(....) handles me.load
for x as integer = 0 to 20
[Code]...
i dont know what to do next, all i want is to pass the button mybuttons(x) to mytimer(x) tick event, in which their index number are the same. i want to create one timer per button. how to do that? please help me and post example codes. i've researched the net but i cant understand passing variables, addhandlers, etc. i'm just new to programming object oriented.
