The following code example shows how to free the resources held by a Timer.

Remarks

Calling Dispose allows the resources used by the Timer to be reallocated for other purposes. For more information about Dispose, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources.

Note

Callbacks can occur after the Dispose() method overload has been called, because the timer queues callbacks for execution by thread pool threads. You can use the Dispose(WaitHandle) method overload to wait until all callbacks have completed.

Dispose(WaitHandle)

Source:
Timer.cs
Source:
Timer.cs
Source:
Timer.cs

Releases all resources used by the current instance of Timer and signals when the timer has been disposed of.

public:
 bool Dispose(System::Threading::WaitHandle ^ notifyObject);
public bool Dispose (System.Threading.WaitHandle notifyObject);
member this.Dispose : System.Threading.WaitHandle -> bool
Public Function Dispose (notifyObject As WaitHandle) As Boolean

Parameters

notifyObject
WaitHandle

The WaitHandle to be signaled when the Timer has been disposed of.

Returns

Boolean

true if the function succeeds; otherwise, false.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

The notifyObject parameter is null.

Remarks

Calling Dispose allows the resources used by the Timer to be reallocated for other purposes. For more information about Dispose, see Cleaning Up Unmanaged Resources.

When this method completes, it signals the WaitHandle specified by the notifyObject parameter.Use this overload of the Dispose method if you want to be able to block until you are certain that the timer has been disposed. The timer is not disposed until all currently queued callbacks have completed.

Note

If the callback uses the Change method to set the dueTime parameter to zero, a race condition can occur when the Dispose(WaitHandle) method overload is called: If the timer queues a new callback before the Dispose(WaitHandle) method overload detects that there are no callbacks queued, Dispose(WaitHandle) continues to block; otherwise, the timer is disposed while the new callback is being queued, and an ObjectDisposedException is thrown when the new callback calls the Change method.
