Timers And Loops Does Not Wait
Sep 5, 2009
I am using vb 2008 I am trying to learn loops and timers but I have some problems. [Code] The problem with this is it does not wait it just sends 123 all at the same time. I tried using the other way the one that makes the program freeze for the amount of time I want it to wait, but I don't want the program to freeze I want to to move my mouse ext whilst its doing it. as for the loop this is as far as I got I cant really test it yet cos my program is typing 123 a million times a second and my pc doesn't like that so i need to fix the timers. [Code]

This code runs through fine the first time, except that the voice gets cut off at the first syllable.Then on subsequent loops, it totally ignores the timer.

the purpose of the program is to display the monthly payments on the loan.My homework is to use do while loops instead of for loop.Here is the code for the for loop.
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off
[code].....
Now I'm having some trouble displaying the output using the do while loop, and I'm pretty sure it's a loop problem on my code. However, I cannot seemed to find out what's wrong. I looked at the examples of do while loop in my textbook, but I couldn't find anything useful to my problems of my program.This is the output for the do while loop.
Here's the do while loop code
Option Explicit On
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off

When I use a For loop in a For loop the Contains Statement dosen't work! Even my custom one! I even tested mine and it works 100% And neither that or the String.Contains function work inside of For Loops And, I know both of them use loops to search through a string.
My function(It will atleast search once):
Function RealContains(ByVal load As String, ByVal needle As String) As Boolean
load = load.ToLower

While navigating to a series of sites at one site the WebBrowser control's DocumentCompleted EVENT is tripped and no other recorded Browser events occur after that. When this happens the hour glass cursor indicates the browser is waiting. From this point it take 120 to 250 seconds of wall clock time before the browser resumes. I am looking for a way to force an abnormal termination without destroying the control. I have tried "Stop", "nav to about:blank" repeatedly without success. How can I force an abnormal termination when the Cntrl is in a wait state?
Consider the following: The last known Browser event to be tripped is a Document Complete event; nothing else occurs after this. When this transpires the Cntrl is waiting.
1:50:657: ============================= ENTER WebBrowser1_DocumentCompleted EVENT ========================================

is it a good coding practice to keep timers in a project to a minimum, or does it not really matter?

I recently upgraded an application from VB 6.0 to VB.NET. This application contains a timer in its form (only one form is there). But after upgrading, the timer is not getting activated. Form is using DefInstance as follows: frmMain.DefInstance.Show()

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.

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.

keeping an Console Application running, so that a timer can perform routine tasks. I am newer to VB.NET and I am not sure what the best method of doing this. Here is a sample of my code that I have currently.

I have the system tray icon changing pictures based off a timer..and when I check my page faults they go up on every tick ofthe timer.. so then I pull out the changing of the picture thinkingthat was it.. but still page faults increase..so just wondering if timers have issues ?this was a timer from VB6 ? is there a new timer I should use from.net.. delete the old and use a new control ? I have a couple sobefore I switch them all out.. figure I would find out first..

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
'some stuff

I am new in .net but I am working on a console application and all I want to do is stop the consolo application if it is idle for more that 3 minutes. I did this on a VB6 using the timer but in .net i can't.

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?

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.

I want to expand it a little bit and add a second timer that runs parallel to the first timer, but is not affected in any way shape or form by the first timer.
Ive tried nesting the second loop in the first loop but the second loop takes 3 seconds to complete (I use thread.sleep(3000)), so I found that it froze the first loop till the second loop finishes. I was reading about system threading (System.Timers.Timer) and it seems like that is the route I want to go.
I wrote this quick as an example:
[Code]...
I cant use the timer1 to set off the second round of events because of the thread.sleep. I was hoping that the code above puts the second thread to sleep while the windows.form.timer continues on ticking every 1000 ms

Is there any way to check date and hour without using two Timers?
Right now i have this for the date:
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
Timer1.Stop()
[Code]....
PS (again): I thought about setting the Timer1 interval to 60000miliseconds, so that it would check the time everysingle step of the way (or maybe 10 minutes...), but I don't want the app to lag, so... How can i implement a Background Worker?

In my class, we are designing a concentration game. The game will give you and output of numbers and you will have a specified time to memorize the numbers. Then, you will enter your guess to see if you were right or not. User will have the option to specify if they want a 3, 6, 12, or 24 digit number. Then they will be able to specify their own timer of 30 seconds, 15 seconds, 3 seconds, or 1 second. The options are done using radiobuttons.Groupbox 1 categorizes the number of digits long. Groupbox 2 is for the timer. So far, I have the whole game layed out except for the timer. Everything works.

I have a form that holds min two timers, One is a 72 hour timer and one is a 12 hour timer.
What I am trying to do is have both run at the same time, when the 12 hour timer expires it'll bring up a form informing the user that in 60 hours the machine will reboot (or they can just hit reboot). When the 72 hour timer expires it reboots the machine.
BUT I know my managment is going to want to be flexable. e.g instead of 72 hours make is 54, and instead of 12 make it 6.
I wish to avoid using global variables
This is the code for the 12 hour one, How do I call it and set i12sec and i12min?
************************************************
Private Sub t12hTimer_Tick(sender As System.Object, e As System.EventArgs, i12sec As Integer, i12min As Integer) Handles t12hTimer.Tick
t12hTimer.Interval = 1000 '1000 Miliseconds = 1 second
