Two Different Timer Variables In The Same Code Firing At Different Intervals?

Mar 31, 2011

I have created a windows service and I have two different timer variables in there. 1st one fires off every 5 seconds and then does whats it is required to do. The second one fires every 30 seconds.

I make sure that when the function are getting executed I disable both the timers and enable once the function is complete.My problem is my second longer (30 second ) timer never fires only the first one is firing. I had created this service 3 months ago and it was working fine till now. But now I do not see the timers work properly in a simple windows app i created to test their workings.

Timer1.Enabled = False ' timer is off
End Sub

Run A Thread At Set Periodic Intervals?

Sep 15, 2011

look at the comments at the beginning of each class. Note, the period is rather small (100ms), and the process being triggered could occasionally take more than 100ms (in which case, the next thread trigger should be delayed ... two threads shoud never overlap). Also, the class will never be instantiated more than once.

Toggle A LED With Timed Intervals?

May 4, 2010

I have a piece of hardware that is controlled via USB.There are 8 LEDs on the output byte. One LED per bit.I like to toggle the outputs based on selection of checkboxes and given frequency entered in TextBox.I inserted 8 checkboxes to allow me to select the desired LEDs to be on.I select the checkboxes to select the required LEDs.The checkbox gives me the byte value. XORing the byte value with 255I can see them toggling very fast. I have a while loop to blink forever until I click on stop button.The stop makes the seq=false and this should stop the blinking but it keeps going.How can I insert desired delay of flashing frequency in my output routine?How can I stop on demand to change pattern without exiting the program.

Way To Control Graph Intervals

Dec 10, 2010

I'm using the chart control that's built in to Visual Basic 2010.NET Service Pack 4.

I am creating a basic date time graph with time on the axis and, at the minute, random points between -20 and positive 20 on the y axis. At the minute I can set everything up perfectly. The only problem is that the label on the x axis is not a time, it's a number. To be precise, it's the XLabelInterval value. This value is a double, so the label on the x axis is also a double not a time. But that's only interval I am setting. I think, by default, because I am not setting any labels, it is just using that value as the label as well.[code]...

Bar Chart - Y-axis Should Still Be Divided Into 10 Intervals?

Dec 28, 2009

I am busy with a routine that will draw a bar chart.The X-axis is from 0 -100, no problem. The problem is the Y-axis.it will range from 0 to whatever the highest y-value will be.

My problem is that the y-axis should still be divided into 10 intervals, and the lenght of my y-axis should be the same in my picture box.I am using an array to fill the values, chartdata (0-9). It gets 10 values from the program. the values are 0 -10, 11 -20,21-30....91-100 . here is the code. It is working, but my Y-axis is messed up. Printing the labels of the y-axis is a problem.

Private Sub PictureBox1_Paint(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.PaintEventArgs) Handles PictureBox1.Paint
Dim chartData() As Single = {mark0, mark10, mark20, mark30, mark40, mark50, mark60, mark70, mark80, mark90}[code]......\vb

Fixed Intervals On MSChart Axis

Jul 2, 2011

I have a windows forms project in VS2010 with a simple line chart.The data is dynamic and always ranging between 1.4000 and 1.5000.I want the Y axis's gridlines/labels to always be displayed on every #.##20 data point, as in: [code] So I tried the Interval property for the axis gridlines/ labels, setting it to 0.002, and the result was that the gridlines/labels were displayed every 0.0020 points, like for example this: [code]
but not on 0.0020 points too as shown previously.

How To Generate Random Numbers At Regular Time Intervals

Sep 29, 2009

I want to generate random numbers at regular time intervals. I am putting the random generation in a loop which works when a button is clicked. But since the Timer itself is a control, I don't know how to do it. I tried putting the timer in a module so I can access it inside the form.

But the following error occurs:
"Error 1 Handles clause requires a WithEvents variable defined in the containing type or one of its base types".

When I doubleclick the timer icon the code appears as follows.
Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
End Sub

Stream Writer / Reader - Modifying Time Intervals

Apr 28, 2009

I am new to Visual Basics and I am using Visual Basic 2008 express. I have been using video tutorial on line to learn VB and they are great in explaining what is happening the code vs. just looking at code. I think from what little I can find I would be using StreamWriter WriteLine and StreamReader readLine .I am using a couple of forms. I am looking for simple basic code to use a form as a way of modifying timer intervals and store the values in a single text file on separate lines.

Description:
Form1: will contain the main code that will run. It will contain some timers. I want the timers to look in a text file for their intervals. Each timer would be on a different line.
Example:
Timer1 interval would be located on line 3
Timer2 interval would be located on line 6
Timer3 interval would be located on line 20

Form2: will contain 3 textboxes. This is where when I load form2 I will also read the same values from the text file to preload the text boxes. I will now be able to change the timer intervals as needed and press a button to update the text file. The update button will also reload the new timer settings on Form1. This is very similar to how a CNC Machine works with Parameter settings. This can be useful for storing many different settings for a form that a user can modify and be stored and reloaded next time the program runs.

.net - Accurate Windows Timer - System.Timers.Timer() Is Limited To 15 Msec

Jan 15, 2009

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.

Asp.net - Local Static Variables In Timer.Tick Event (Stopping A Timer)

Jul 9, 2009

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?

Synchronize The Timer Event So That The Timer Executes From The Background Worker Thread?

Apr 23, 2009

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?

Create An Array Of Timer - Raise The Tick Event For A Particular Timer?

Jan 11, 2011

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.
