Timer CallBack function
-
Please look at the code: I am using three such timer and callback functions,but it seems timers are always running when I close application also. timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(OnNextMinute), null, Timeout.Infinite, Timeout.Infinite); timer.Start() public void onNextMinute() { } ~Class { timer.dispose(); } How to make sure that it stops running when my app is closed. appreciate immediate help as it is urgent. Thanks in advance,

Use the windows timer instead of the threading one. Have your window closed event call Stop on the timers. Either of those things should work. If your timer is still going, then your app is still running.

There is no guarantee that the finalizer (~) will be run when the application ends. The finalizer is called after that the garbage collector has recognised that the object isn't used any more. An object with a finalizer is placed in a queue where a background thread will be calling the finalizer, but as your object is still used when the application ends, it will never make the queue. As you have a resource that needs to be freed, you should implement the IDisposable interface so that you can call the Dispose method on the object to free the resources. Just as you are calling the Dispose method of the Timer object to make it free it's resources.

Thanks a lot for prompt replies,I will try to dispose the timer first to stop app from running..

I implemented IDisposable interface , but still not able to release resources. I am trying to dispose the timer in Dispose Method and calling the Dispose Method in the Main Class event where I want to end the application. But my app is crashed at the Dispose Method with StackOverflowException at timer.Dispose(). Please help me...

A stack overflow usually means that you have "accomplished" an infinite recursive call. What does your code look like?

I am just giving part of code ,main function of this class is when the user request a file to download, file is broken into chunks,the chunks are added to PendingChunks,the PendingChunks are updated in timer ,the callBack function gets the ChunkAddress of the requested pendingchunks from the server . public Class:IDisposable { Class{ ArrayList PendingChunks=new ArrayList(); timer2 = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(getAddressfromServer), null, Timeout.Infinite, Timeout.Infinite); StartTimer(); } public void getAddressfromServer(object state) { getChunkAddress(PendingChunks) } const long TIMER_INTERVAL = 10000L; private void StartTimer() { timer.Change(0, TIMER_INTERVAL); } } public void Dispose() { Dispose(true); GC.SuppressFinalize(this); } protected virtual void Dispose(bool disposing) { if (!disposed) { if (disposing) { timer.dispose(); } disposed = true; } } public void getChunkAddress(ArrayList chnkList) { ArrayList chnkAddrList=null; Chunk c=null; ChunkAddress chnkAdd; chnkAddrList = HTTPClass.httpGetChunks(chnkList); if (chnkAddrList != null) { for (int j = 0; j < chnkList.Count; j++) { c = (Chunk)chnkList[j]; for (int i = 0; i < chnkAddrList.Count; i++) { c.chnkAddress = (ChunkAddress)chnkAddrList[i]; } } }

The code that you show looks basically correct. I can't say anything about the actual code that you use, as you won't show it. Where do you dispose the object?

I am disposing the timer in public void virtual Dispose Method

Sorry I have no idea how to dispose the object, can u please tell me?

You just call the Dispose method. This should usually be done by the object that contains the reference to the object to dispose. If you for instance have put the object in a form, that form would call Dispose on the object when the form is closing.

As you said I have a recursive loop because I am not stopping to get Chunk Address untill I cleared the PendingChunks ArrayList,may be that is Cause? Yes I have Called Dispose method in an another class ,triggered by Application Shutdown event of Form, like this: using(Class1 c=new Class1) { c.Dispose(); } Is it correct? Do I need to use using method?or just call Dispose Method?

Then you are creating a new object and dispose that, that doesn't dispose the object that you use in the rest of the code.
