Repeating events

Question

Hi, is there a way to shoot an event in C# continuously every time period?

Answer 1

Look into the DispatcherTimer class.

You can set some time period for the DispatcherTimer to fire it's tick event -- either do what you want here, or in the handler for the tick event, fire off your event.

Answer 2

Timers?

Google found me these link.

Unless you have form application then you may want to use the timer in the form namespace. This way you will not have to worry executing control modifications on a non-main thread.

(I only get one hyperlink so google for C# timers)
