Quick question - if I have a timer set to 5000 (5 seconds) and the code in the timer takes longer than 5 seconds to run because of sql stuff, will the timer wait until the code is done till it fires again?

I want to make my form freeze for 5 seconds before it resumes to the next form.So I have a form that says : Establishing a connection....
But I don't want it to make a connection, i just want the user to think that it's making a connection.
And I then want it, when the timer reaches zero, that it would resume to the next form.
I just need the code of the timer behavior.
I have successfully set up a timer in visual basic, see the code below. My timer uses case statements and at specific case/time it calls a function, 'ShuttleA'. 'ShuttleA' function, is a function that 'getskeystate', which inturn from the user interface tallies a response in a text box. My problem is that the program runs fine when calling the function at eg; at 10 seconds, case 10. But I want to be able to call the function e.g., at 8 seconds to 11 seconds. Or create a tolerance of e.g., 1 second either side of e.g., 10.

View 2 RepliesFor a school project I need to make a timer with a bell sound that sounds every 60 seconds in VB, I cannot work out how to make the bell sound on the 60th second, I am not getting any errors in the VB console, so I assume that I am just using the wrong code or it is in the wrong place.

Dim s As Integer

There are actually 3 text boxes (not yet coded the final one) one for minutes, one for seconds and the final one is for the bell sound which will not be visible.

View 4 RepliesI have been asked by a friend to make a basic timer that counts down from 3 mins and 1 mins intervals but at the end of it i have a Critical message box pop up with the sound to alert him that the time is up.i have set it so that once ok on the msg box is pressed the timer restarts..I am Just wondering if there is a way to just make sound for x seconds then the timer restarts without any button pressing?[code]
View 2 RepliesI am trying to make a program in visual basic 2010 where the user enters hours minutes and seconds into text boxes and then the program will count down from that until its equal to 0 when a msgbox appears and says its finished. I was converting hour entered, minutes entered, and seconds entered all into seconds and then having a timer subtract 1 from that until its equal to 0. But the problem I'm having is that I want to display the hours, minutes and seconds left in a label to the user in a format of: "hours: 0 minutes: 23 seconds :42" but how to display it in this format.
View 2 RepliesI 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.

This operation takes around 7 seconds. I inserted Breakpoints and used F11 to determine that upon MySqlAdapter.Fill is where the lag starts. Both my computer and the server hosting the MySQL database are NOT challenged spec wise. I'm guessing it's the query itself. collectionitem holds the 2 foreign keys linking an itemproperty to a collection. we feed the sproc sId(PK of collection) so that the subquery returns all the itemids from a specific collection and then we use the itemid(PK) in itemproperty. Is there any way to speed up the process?

View 5 RepliesSay you wanted to set a status message
' Set status
ssMainMessages.Text = msgValidating
Then perform an action that requires a http request that takes around 5 seconds then you want to display the result of that
' Set status
ssMainMessages.Text = msgValidated
It will only always display the second message? Its like it jumps the first part of the code and goes straight to httprequest.even if you put the update,system,threading.thread.sleep ....

when i run code after 60 sec it display following error what is this error and how to eliminate ?ContextSwitchDeadlock was detected Message: The CLR has been unable to transition from COM context 0x2040a8 to COM context 0x204218 for 60 seconds. The thread that owns the destination context/apartment is most likely either doing a non pumping wait or processing a very long running operation without pumping Windows messages. This situation generally has a negative performance impact and may even lead to the application becoming non responsive or memory usage accumulating continually over time. To avoid this problem, all single threaded apartment (STA) threads should use pumping wait primitives (such as CoWaitForMultipleHandles) and routinely pump messages during long running operations.

I have the below code. What happens if the Upload method takes more than one minute for completion? Does the timer kick off another call to the Upload method immediately after one minute is over or Does it wait until the method finishes executing? I am implementing this as a windows service.
