Public Property AutoReset As Boolean
true
if the Timer should raise the Elapsed event each time the interval elapses; false
if it should raise the Elapsed event only once, after the first time the interval elapses. The default is true
.
- Attributes
The following example creates a Timer whose Elapsed event fires after 1.5 seconds. Its event handler then displays "Hello World!" on the console.
#using <system.dll>
using namespace System;
using namespace System::Timers;
public ref class Timer2
{
private:
static System::Timers::Timer^ aTimer;
public:
static void Main()
{
// Create a new Timer with Interval set to 1.5 seconds.
double interval = 1500.0;
aTimer = gcnew System::Timers::Timer(interval);
// Hook up the event handler for the Elapsed event.
aTimer->Elapsed += gcnew ElapsedEventHandler( OnTimedEvent );
// Only raise the event the first time Interval elapses.
aTimer->AutoReset = false;
aTimer->Enabled = true;
// Ensure the event fires before the exit message appears.
System::Threading::Thread::Sleep((int) interval * 2);
Console::WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program.");
Console::ReadLine();
// If the timer is declared in a long-running method, use
// KeepAlive to prevent garbage collection from occurring
// before the method ends.
//GC::KeepAlive(aTimer);
}
private:
// Handle the Elapsed event.
static void OnTimedEvent( Object^ /*source*/, ElapsedEventArgs^ /*e*/ )
{
Console::WriteLine( "Hello World!" );
}
};

{
Timer2::Main();
}

// Hello World!
// Press the Enter key to exit the program.

Imports System.Timers
Public Module Example
Private aTimer As System.Timers.Timer
Public Sub Main()
' Create a timer with a 1.5 second interval.
Dim interval As Double = 1500.0
aTimer = New System.Timers.Timer(interval)
' Hook up the event handler for the Elapsed event.
AddHandler aTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf OnTimedEvent
' Only raise the event the first time Interval elapses.
aTimer.AutoReset = False
aTimer.Enabled = True
' Ensure the event fires before the exit message appears.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(CInt(interval * 2))
Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program.")
Console.ReadLine()
' If the timer is declared in a long-running method, use
' KeepAlive to prevent garbage collection from occurring
' before the method ends.
'GC.KeepAlive(aTimer)
End Sub
' Specify what you want to happen when the Elapsed event is
' raised.
Private Sub OnTimedEvent(source As Object, e As ElapsedEventArgs)
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!")
End Sub
End Module
' This example displays the following output:
' Hello World!
' Press the Enter key to exit the program.
If AutoReset is false
, the Start method must be called in order to start the count again.
Resetting the interval affects when the Elapsed event is raised. For example, if you set the interval to 5 seconds and then set the Enabled property to true
, the count starts at the time Enabled is set. If you reset the interval to 10 seconds when the count is 3 seconds, the Elapsed event is raised for the first time 13 seconds after the Enabled property was set to true
.
