Question

I have a timer applicaion as shown below

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
           Timer timer1 = new Timer();
            timer1.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer1_Elapsed);
            timer1.Interval = 6000;
            //timer1.Enabled = true;
            timer1.Start();
            while (true) ;            
            
        }

static void timer1_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {   
            Console.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------->");
            Check_newLab();
            Console.WriteLine("Done ");
            create_new_folder();
            Console.WriteLine("Begining to download ");
            Download_file();
            Console.WriteLine("Prepearing files ");
            Writetodatabase();
            Console.WriteLine("--------------------------------------------------------->");
            
        }

I am not able type timer1.stop(); inside the void timer1_Elapsed.

What i want is when the timer is triggered and reached the void timer1_Elapsed i wan to disable the timer so half way through running the sub function it is not retriggered. which mean when inside void timer1_Elapsed the timer should not be triggerred.

Solution 1

If you want that the Elapsed event should be fired only the first time the interval is passed, set Enabled to true and AutoReset to false for the timer.

Update: Set AutoReset for the timer to false and explicitly start it again in the elapsed event. Your Elapsed event should have something like this:

(sender as Timer).Start();

preferably in the finally block or at the end of try.

No i want the timer to be fired every time. the timer should not fire when it is doing completing the jobs inside the routines.Once it complete the routine then it can start firing timer again
