Question

Hello I was wondering how I can setup several things in a constructor, but have it wait until right after the object is created. I am thinking along the lines of my C++ and QT days when I would create a singleshot timer for 0 seconds that would fire my setup method as soon as the object was constructed. Can I do that in C#?

I don’t mind doing all the work I do in the constructor just simply seeing if there is a better way.

I’m not sure what the problem is with just putting your stuff in the constructor is – there is nothing you cant do. Maybe an example of why you would like to do this / what problem you are having, would allow us to give you a more suited answer.

Although if you really need to delay code,

public constructor()
{
    Task.Factory.StartNew(()=>
    {
        Thread.Sleep(...delay...);
        //delayed code
    });
}
