ElapsedEventArgs.SignalTime Property

Definition

Gets the date/time when the Elapsed event was raised.

public:
 property DateTime SignalTime { DateTime get(); };
public DateTime SignalTime { get; }
member this.SignalTime : DateTime
Public ReadOnly Property SignalTime As DateTime

Property Value

The time the Elapsed event was raised.

Examples

The following example instantiates a Timer object that fires its Timer.Elapsed event every two seconds (2000 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.

using namespace System;
using namespace System::Timers;

public ref class Example
{
private:
    static System::Timers::Timer^ aTimer;

public:
    static void Demo()
    {
        // Create a timer and set a two second interval.
        aTimer = gcnew System::Timers::Timer();
        aTimer->Interval = 2000;

        // Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer. 
        aTimer->Elapsed += gcnew System::Timers::ElapsedEventHandler(Example::OnTimedEvent);

        // Have the timer fire repeated events (true is the default)
        aTimer->AutoReset = true;

        // Start the timer
        aTimer->Enabled = true;

        Console::WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program at any time... ");
        Console::ReadLine();
    }

private:
    static void OnTimedEvent(Object^ source, System::Timers::ElapsedEventArgs^ e)
    {
        Console::WriteLine("The Elapsed event was raised at {0}", e->SignalTime);
    }
};

int main()
{
    Example::Demo();
}
// The example displays output like the following: 
//       Press the Enter key to exit the program at any time...

Remarks

The Timer.Elapsed event is raised on a ThreadPool thread, so the event-handling method might run on one thread at the same time that a call to the Timer.Stop method runs on another thread. This might result in the Elapsed event being raised after the Stop method is called. This race condition cannot be prevented simply by comparing the SignalTime property with the time when the Stop method is called, because the event-handling method might already be executing when the Stop method is called, or might begin executing between the moment when the Stop method is called and the moment when the stop time is saved. If it is critical to prevent the thread that calls the Stop method from proceeding while the event-handling method is still executing, use a more robust synchronization mechanism such as the Monitor class or the CompareExchange method. Code that uses the CompareExchange method can be found in the example for the Timer.Stop method.
