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 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()

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!
I have written below console application in VB.net. My intention is to write an application that triggers every one minute and perform some task. But when I run this application it is consuming 50% of CPU.

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?

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 want to make an application in VB.NET and I want this application to work as follows, There will be an array of items on which I want to perform a specific operation (MyTask), with the help of multiple threads.For example, say, the array is holding 12 items in it, and I want to create 3 threads to do the work,
Thread 1: Reads the first item from the array and goes to perform the specific operation (MyTask).
Thread 2: Reads the second item from the array and goes to perform the operation MyTask
Thread 3: Reads the third itm from the array and goes to perform the Mytask.
Now once Thread 1 completes the operatin MyTask, I want to assign 4th item from the array to the Thread 1 to continue the process.Once Thread 2 completes the operatin MyTask, I want to assign 5th item from the array to the Thread 2 to continue the process and so on... until all the items from the array is processed. Also, the function taking 5 arguments out of which 4 arguments will be same. Only one argument will vary and it will take the keywords one by one as input parameter.
Hi. what is the difference of sleep function and pause function (using timer) between a loop.
View 12 RepliesI have a relatively simple question regarding the best way to call the DataGridView.Rows.Add function when it is inherited into the current control. Which is the best way to make the call to the inherited control? Call it directly in the invoke or call it using recursive-like function? They both seem to produce the same result, a row gets added and the quantity is returned, but which is the most efficient?The delegate: Private Delegate Function ReturnDelegate() As Object
The two ways are:
A)
Private Overloads Function AddRow() As Integer
If InvokeRequired Then
Return CInt(Invoke(New ReturnDelegate(AddressOf AddRow)))

I wonder is there a way to set a timer for a specific time interval? Lets say everyday between 23:00 and 23:10.
View 6 Repliesim trying to run a code everyday at 0:00 hours so my program refreshes some outdated stuff, but i would like to find an alternative to using timers, as checking every second kinda feels a bit bad for performance as this program is designed to run while minimized for several days if needed.So is there a better way to achieve this without crippling out performance with timers?

View 1 RepliesI am facing another issue. I want to associate a timer to my function. Actually what i am doing is that i am tryin to store certain values in a database. A function is such that it calculates 5 values and stores them in a database. While storing them in the database it displays them in a textbox on the form. Now i want to display them one by one which it does. But it does it so fast that i can only see the last value that it enters in the database inside the textbox.
Can i make it show all the values slowly one by one.

View 3 RepliesI am making a game that involves using the arrow keys I have been using the keydown function for the form but when i use it now all the timers seem to stop. this was my previous code for the arrow keys using the keydown function:

pbxship.Top += 10

Attachment 72933: after adding the datetimepicker i changed its format to custom and from its value part i deleted the time......what to do if i want to update the date shown by the datetimepicker everyday when the application starts?
What line of code would I need to use the timer function just as a delay, so like as lines are being executed, once it gets to this timer it waits for say 1500 milliseconds before execution is continued.

I can't seem to get one of my functions to work based on a timer. Every tick of the timer, I'm trying to call a function which will start periodically taking screen shots until the 'Finish' button is pressed. However, I've run into numerous errors and wondered if anyone could give me any insight or suggestions. Here is what I have so far.

One of the errors included "Public Sub RunAC() does not have the same signature as delegate". This might be really obvious, I'm a recent Computer Programmer / Analyst graduate with intermediate VB.net experience.

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.
PrivateSub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object,ByVal eAs System.EventArgs)Handles Timer1.Tick
Dim secondsAsInteger
seconds += 1
Label1.Text = seconds

Here Net_mang_Form is Form1 and this code is written in button click event of Form2.
file_send is the function of dll .
prg_Timer is the timer control .
Prg_bar is Progress bar control.
I was trying to use the System.Threading.Timer to run a function every 250ms - but I'm finding it difficult to cancel the timer from within the callback function. I can't seem to find a reference to "this" (js has this - it's so nice). At any rate - how could I start a callback running 250ms from now - without a timer - and then if I want to continue it again do another start for 250ms.
