How do I create a timer in WPF?
Solution 1:
In WPF, you use a DispatcherTimer.
System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,5,0);
dispatcherTimer.Start();
private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// code goes here
}
Solution 2:
Adding to the above. You use the Dispatch timer if you want the tick events marshalled back to the UI thread. Otherwise I would use System.Timers.Timer.
