Generate popup desktop application
-
Hello friends, I wants to generate popup in my windows application after every 5 minutes of some events. I am using Timer Control for that but i don't get accurate result and Continuous execution of timer ticks hangs the Computer. I have also tried make one service but it does not allow any user interface with that. i am very confused. Please help Thanks. RAHUL. E-mail:rahulpatel112@gmail.com

The Timer is not 100% accurate and differences CPU cycles, ticks, etc. can throw it off slightly, but it shouldn't be that much of a problem for this usage. If you need absolute precision then create a Thread and use something like GetTickCount

a wild guess as you didn't show any code, nor provided any hard facts: timer intervals are specified in milliseconds, not seconds; your number is just too small. :)

I only read code that is properly formatted, adding PRE tags is the easiest way to obtain that.

It's a common complaint, and judging by the amount of spam in my spam folder, it's easily curable.

I set interval to 5000(5 seconds) i think it's not small number. What u say?

You still haven't provided any code, so it's impossible to tell you what's wrong.

You must show us the relevant code (in PRE tags!) for us to be able to help you. A simple action that occurs every 5 seconds would not "hang the Computer" unless you have some mistake in there. :)

But no longer in 2009...First of all thanks a lot. Now problem is In coding I have time filed which stores current time when there is some events happen. i wants to generate popup after(5 minutes) time reaches at time=time + 5minute. so after every 5 seconds in timer's tick event i am checking,Is time has reached the limit.if it is then generate popup. This is the coding which i am doing.
if (System.DateTime.Now.ToShortTimeString() >= Actualtime.AddMinutes(5) ) { //Here Actualtime and all other variables are declared already. frm_grcprd_popup obj_popup = new frm_grcprd_popup(); obj_popup.lbl_Visitor_Id.Text = id[i].ToString(); obj_popup.Show(); }There are some more database operation is there to show values on popup. thats it.
