C# in a Nutshell

Name

Timer

Synopsis

This class raises an event at regular intervals. It is a server-based timer, which provides much more accuracy than normal Windows timers and ensures that the event is raised at the proper time. To use a Timer, set the Elapsed event, the Interval property, Enabled to true. Start() and Stop() provide shortcuts, which respectively assign true and false to Enabled. AutoReset allows you to specify whether the event should be raised only once or periodically. The default is true, which makes the Timer periodic.
