Working With Timers - Finding Variable?

Jan 17, 2009

Private Sub Button3_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button3.Click
Timer1.Interval = 5000
Timer1.Enabled = True
[Code] .....
How would I take a textbox (textbox2.text) and make it show what part of the interval the timer is on? like how do I watch the timer while its counting?

Multi Timer - Set Up A Variable Amount Of Timers?

May 21, 2011

I'm trying to work out a program where you can set up a variable amount of timers (like egg timers). Each timer works independently of the other (you can stop a timer, reset another, and so on, and the rest are not effected).I thought of using a single timer and then creating a custom egg timer class to handle the countdown, store the current time, etc, and use a collection of these classes inside a timer event (at the tick, do a for each to reduce the countdown on the classes by some milliseconds).Then I got to thinking: all of these egg timer classes in the collection with the for each loop may cause some accuracy loss (say, I add 50 egg timers).

Does anyone think the accuracy loss for updating all of the egg timers would be too adverse? Should I try running them on separate threads (have not thought about how yet), or will that make much difference?

IDE :: System.Timers.Timer Working When Exception Occurs In Elapsed Event Handler

Mar 24, 2011

I am using timers in a windows service and facing problem that anytime some exception happens ( say i unplug LAN wire from my computer ) service stops running, What i am expecting is that service should keep on running as i am catching generic exception which should catch the exception on one tick event and again work (next tick)when i plug in LAN wire (i am plugging/un plugging ) LAN wire as this service is reading database from LAN so i want to replicate a failover scneario)

Working With Timers - Scoreboard Application For Class That Would Control A Scoreboard

Nov 18, 2009

I working on a scoreboard application for class that would control a scoreboard like you would see at a football game. My problem is that I'm not sure exactly how to work with timers. I would like a timer to start at either 15 or 12 minutes and count down the quarter. I'd like to be able to pause the timer, have it count up in case I need to add time to the clock.

Datagridview/Query - Finding Highest Number And Assigning It To A Variable?

Jan 9, 2010

I don't know if I worded this properly, but I have a mdb query that I display in a Datagrid on my form. The first column is TransactionNumber, which is the primary key and a running total (ex. RackingTransactionKey=RackingTransactionKey + 1). What I need to do is when the form is opened, find the highest (last) TransactionNumber from the query or Datagrid and assign it to a variable (RackingTransactionKey), so I can can update it (+1), therefore generating a unique number so I can add data to the query.

2) A start time, for example: strStartTime1 would have the value of 9:45

3) An end time, for example strEndTime1 would have the value of 18:00

Variable Not Working As Expected?

Jul 28, 2010

I have declared a String variable(PC) for use within another String variable(currentQuery) to form a SQL statement to pass to my SQLDataAdapter variable.

I'm performing this action to change the string variable(PC) for the different onClick events I have.

It seems i can change this variable (PC) within my onClick event handlers and the 'PC' variable will change when I apply it to a testing Text Box 'testTextBox' but not for the currentQuery variable.

Do i need to perform this action as a function or am i missing something obvious - code below - I don't want to spend time writing a function to return a string value for my SQL statement if i can just tweek something in my code (below).

Partial Public Class IVMain
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Dim DBConn As New SqlConnection("Data Source=hnaServer;Initial Catalog=Hnastatus;User ID=Test;Password=test")

File I/O And Registry :: Finding A Specific File Based On A Variable Name?

May 15, 2009

I will have a directory of files (IFO, BUP, and VOB; DVD files for anyone who cares), I need to find the first one by sorting these like this: Filter out everything that does not have a .VOB in it, then find the one like this VTS_**_1.VOB. It will always have a "1" before the extension, but the two numbers before that change, lastly I need that file returned as a variable.

All the code needs to be controled by seperate timers as the user may need to pause timer3 or timer4 at any one time. The problem I have is that after about 5 minutes the time and elapsed time are about three seconds ahead of the two count down timers.

Timers With For Each Loop

Apr 23, 2012

I'm developing an application to learning purposes only. The application will check some proxies that are in a proxy list.

I did a For Each loop ( to run all the proxies in the listbox ). The problem is some proxies are slow to answer and I must do the application wait some seconds before get the next proxy.

I tired a sleep thread but I don't want the application to be unanswering. There's any chance to help me with the timers?

I tried all possible ways and searched a lot but my problem is each time the timer ticks, it make the full for each loop again instead waiting.

Timers Get Disabled After New Event?

May 8, 2011

I created a timer in the main form - form1 which then updates some text in form2 each 100ms. Now When I click a button in form1, the timer stops. Why? Happens no matter if timers are on or off by default. I have to open/close form2 to make my status updates work again - that's where I run the timer on form load and stop the timer on form close.

Was doing it in windows 2010 express.

So this is what I have in form1:

Public Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

VS 2008 Timers And Forms

Mar 18, 2011

I have a background application with a couple of System.Timers.Timer running in it. I also have a NotifyIcon that when double clicked brings up a windows form.

My problem is that sometimes my form gets displayed but then for whatever reason it seems like it's losing focus and becomes un-usable (it just sits there in the background).

So here comes the question now... Can the freeze be caused by the form loading (i.e. me double clicking my NotifyIcon) and the timer tick happening the same time?

VS 2010 LOTS Of Timers?

Jul 12, 2010

I'm considering making an application that will perform various tests against servers on a local network - for example pinging them, checking hard drive space, checking the state of services, whether or not databases are available, etc etc. Very similar to Hostmonitor if anyone has ever used that - but my app will be free

These tests would have to be performed at specified intervals, but the problem is that there could be literally hundreds of tests and I'm not sure how well my app would cope with hundreds of timers running... especially if they are all configured to run every minute or two (they all need to run independently of each other).

Really I'm just wondering how you guys would design such a system.The best way I can think of is to have a separate timer associated with every test and then when a test's timer has elapsed use the ThreadPool to do the work that the test will perform. That way if loads of them happen to run at the same time then the ThreadPool will queue them rather than trying to run say 200 at once. I also think I would need to have some kind of staging for when the app first starts, so that every single test is not going to have the exact same time to run (well, every test that has the same interval configured), but that shouldn't be too much of an issue.I guess it would be a good idea to try and use some sort of grouping so that more than one test can use the same timer - like if 20 tests were set to run with a 5 minute interval then I could use one timer and run all of the tests when that one timer fires.
