Timer.Stop Method

Definition

Stops raising the Elapsed event by setting Enabled to false.

public:
 void Stop();
public void Stop ();
member this.Stop : unit -> unit
Public Sub Stop ()

Examples

The following example instantiates a System.Timers.Timer object that fires its Timer.Elapsed event every two seconds (2,000 milliseconds), sets up an event handler for the event, and starts the timer. The event handler displays the value of the ElapsedEventArgs.SignalTime property each time it is raised. When the user presses the Enter key, the application calls the Stop method before terminating the application.

The following code example shows one way to prevent the thread that calls the Stop method from continuing until a currently executing Elapsed event ends, and also to prevent two Elapsed events from executing the event handler at the same time (often referred to as reentrancy).

The example executes 100 test runs. Each time the test is run, the timer is started with an interval of 150 milliseconds. The event handler uses the Thread.Sleep method to simulate a task that randomly varies in length from 50 to 200 milliseconds. The test method also starts a control thread that waits for a second and then stops the timer. If an event is being handled when the control thread stops the timer, the control thread must wait until the event is finished before proceeding.

The Interlocked.CompareExchange(Int32, Int32, Int32) method overload is used to avoid reentrancy and to prevent the control thread from continuing until an executing event ends. The event handler uses the CompareExchange(Int32, Int32, Int32) method to set a control variable to 1, but only if the value is currently zero. This is an atomic operation. If the return value is zero, the control variable has been set to 1 and the event handler proceeds. If the return value is non-zero, the event is simply discarded to avoid reentrancy. (If it were necessary to execute every event, the Monitor class would be a better way to synchronize the events.) When the event handler ends, it sets the control variable back to zero. The example records the total number of events that executed, that were discarded because of reentrancy, and that occurred after the Stop method was called.

The control thread uses the CompareExchange(Int32, Int32, Int32) method to set the control variable to -1 (minus one), but only if the value is currently zero. If the atomic operation returns non-zero, an event is currently executing. The control thread waits and tries again. The example records the number of times the control thread had to wait for an event to finish.

' On a dual-processor computer, this code example produces

'Test 100/100    100 test runs completed.

'352 events executed.
'84 events were skipped for concurrency.
'0 events were skipped because they were late.

Remarks

You can also stop timing by setting Enabled to false.

Note

The signal to raise the Elapsed event is always queued for execution on a ThreadPool thread, so the event-handling method might run on one thread at the same time that a call to the Stop method runs on another thread. This might result in the Elapsed event being raised after the Stop method is called. The second code example in the Examples section shows one way to work around this race condition.
