Question

Hello I’m currently having an issue with a timer in a program I’m developing. The timer runs and calls methods which retrieve Windows Management Information from remote PC’s after a set period of time and repeat this.

The first time the timer calls these all is well, however the second time, after the timer has completed its task, it loops through itself again and the third time it runs it does it 3 times etc. The for loop in the code below works fine its the timer itself.

So any help would be appareciated and if you require any further details please let me know.

Below is my code:

private void tmrStore_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        string ipAdd;
        ipAdd = "127.0.0.1";
        List<TblServer> Server;

        WMIInfo localDB = new WMIInfo("Data Source=|DataDirectory|\\WMIInfo.sdf");

        Server = localDB.TblServer.ToList();

        if (Server.Count == 0)
        {

        }
        else
        {
            for (int counter = 0; counter < Server.Count; counter++)
            {
                CPUStore cpu = new CPUStore();
                cpu.Store(Server[counter].IpAdd);

                HDDStore hdd = new HDDStore();
                hdd.Store(Server[counter].IpAdd);

                MemStore mem = new MemStore();
                mem.Store(Server[counter].IpAdd);

                //delete items over 24 hours old 
            }
        }

Right I’ve resolved the issue its because I had a class I was using to write the retrieved information into text boxes and within that I called a new instance of the form to gain access to the text boxes doh!

Thanks for your help though guys no doubt I’ll be back soon for some more lol
