Timer get interval time

Question

Hi, I created a Timer

private static AutoResetEvent autoEvent;
private static Timer stateTimer;
public static void Start()
{
    autoEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
    TimerCallback timerDelegate = new TimerCallback(SomeClass.TimerLoad);
    stateTimer = new Timer(timerDelegate, autoEvent, 1000, 3 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
}

from other procedure I change timer:

stateTimer.Change(0, 5 * 60 * 1000);

now, I need to know what is the interval, is there any appropiate instruction for that ?

Answer 1

What about the Interval property of Timer ?

Answer 2

I have not found a way to do this yet. When faced with the same problem, I resorted to storing the interval whenever I changed my timer.

The "good" way might be to inherit the Timer class and add the property there...

Answer 3

Aren't you setting the interval in your Change method call, when you specify 5 * 60 * 1000. So, your interval is 300000.

Answer 4

Use System.Timers.Timer instead, that has an interval property.
