Passing Information to Timer.Elapsed Method

[ezazazel]

Hi guys! I have a question concerning the Timer Elapse Event and the invoked Method. Is it possible to add an object to the timer which is passed to the Method? Something like this:

public Timer MouseHooverTimer
{
get
{
if (mouseHooverTimer == null)
{
mouseHooverTimer = new Timer(2000);
mouseHooverTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(mouseHooverTimer_Elapsed);
}
return mouseHooverTimer;
}
}

private void StartTimer(object information)
{
mouseHooverTimer.Start(); <== HERE ADD THE OBJECT information
}

void mouseHooverTimer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
//HERE USE THE OBJECT information
}

Thanks in advance!

No, just use a field. Or derive your own timer class that will do it.

Hi, of course, you can add an object to the timer. but you must recognize that 'timer Thread' is not the same to 'main Thread', so after you create the object in 'timer thread', if you use it in 'main thread', will throw an error.
