Hi All,

I am using System.Threading.Timer to fire event after some time, which is working fine. i.e.

timervar = new System.Threading.Timer(methodname, null, 60000, 0);

I also want to fire event on specific time using the same. Is it possible? If yes, then how?

Regards!
Aman

Could you clarify what you are meaning: 'I also want to fire event on specific time using the same.'

I thought this was clear: pick up some Calendar time, then make sure event is fired when this time comes.
Is that correct, Aman?

@SAKryukov - Lol...Obviously, based on his votes, I read a different/erroneous meaning from it.

I used the approach recommended by Brij and achieved the result. the code is following:

TimeSpan myTimeSpan1 = new TimeSpan(DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute, DateTime.Now.Second);
TimeSpan myTimeSpan2 = new TimeSpan(20, 00, 00);
TimeSpan TsObj = new TimeSpan();
TsObj = myTimeSpan2.Subtract(myTimeSpan1);
Int32 milsec = Convert.ToInt32(TsObj.TotalMilliseconds);
My_Timer = new System.Threading.Timer(timer_click, null, milsec, 0);

Thanx for posting.

Solution 2

I would fire the event inside the callback function. If it is going to be on a different timing, then give it its own callback method, else fire it from inside 'methodname'.

Solution 1

One approach, Get the current time, after get the difference between current and scheduled time, wait till that duration and fire the event
