Timer in C#
The namespace used to set a timer is System. Timers. The Timer class generates an event after a set interval, with an option to generate recurring events.
Firstly, create a timer object for 5 seconds interval −
timer = new System.Timers.Timer(5000);
Set elapsed event for the timer. This occurs when the interval elapses −
timer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
Now start the timer.
timer.Enabled = true;
Example
using System;
using System.Timers;
public class Demo {
private static Timer timer;
public static void Main() {
timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
timer.Interval = 5000;
timer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
timer.AutoReset = true;
timer.Enabled = true;
Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit anytime... ");
Console.ReadLine();
}
private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e) {
Console.WriteLine("Raised: {0}", e.SignalTime);
}
}
