Is there any way to ensure that the call made to the server or the event from the flash.utils.Timer class runs asynchronousl...
What is the difference between having multiple Timers vs multiple Threads? I have a Windows service that runs in the background. There are about ten "Sites" in a database that get loaded on init. Each site gets initialized in its own Timer object, and then the Timer executes code on an interval for each site. The code executed is fro...
Hello. I'm using Python and PyGTK. I'm interested in running a certain function, which gets data from a serial port and saves it, every several minutes.

I have a modal popup extender tied to a asp:panel control that I want to show when the timer on an asp:updatepanel reloads executes the tick method.

Since performance of string concatenation is quite weak in VB6 I'm testing several StringBuilder implementations. To see how long they're running, I currently use the built-in Timer function which only gives me the number of seconds that have passed after midnight. Is there a way (I guess by importing a system function) to get somet...

Hello, recently I have had to program some applications that require large amounts of timed tasks to occur. However, I'm afraid to create so many timers because I haven't been able to figure out how they are handled by Java. Is there a problem with starting large quantities of scheduled tasks? If so, what is the better alternative? ...

For example: myTimer.Change(5000, Timeout.Infinite); // Only 2 seconds pass. myTimer.Change(5000, Timeout.Infinite); After this, will the thread next run in 3 seconds or 5 seconds? I hope the answer is the latter, that the timer is reset with each call...
