Timer Control Not working in proper Interval + Sourabh Das

[Dot Net Jantu]

Hi Guys, I have dragged and droped a timer control "tmrGetMappingXML" from the Common Controls Tab in Tool Box. The issue that I am mentioning also appears for the Timer Control present in the Components Tab in tool box. In the form Load i have written: tmrGetMappingXML.Interval = 3600; //1 Hour = 3600 Seconds tmrGetMappingXML.Enabled = True; tmrGetMappingXML.Start(); The timer interval is also set in the design time to 3600 seconds. But the Tick event of the timer fires continuously every second. Fed up. Please suggest. Regards, Sourabh

Thanks and Regards,

The Interval property is given in milliseconds. You need to multiply your number by 1,000

In Windows a tick is a tenth of a microsecond. :)
