Question

I am making a simple notifier in c# on timer control 1 i have put interval of 10s to show an animated gif.The image shows after 10s when the program runs.But i want to show that picture for 10s and then hide again for 10s and then show again after 10s.Following is my code

 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        notifier.Image = Image.FromFile("c:\\bounce.gif");
    }

Answer 1

Set up the image location once (I.e not in the tick event handler). And then on every interval just set the Visible property equal to the value of the Visible property NOT. That will switch visibility every interval. True for ten seconds, false for ten seconds, true for ten seconds…so on and so forth.

yourImage.Visible = !yourImage.Visible;
