Question

I have a class that created a threading .timer.

  System.Threading.Timer timer;
  TimerCallback cb = new TimerCallback(ProcessTimerEvent);
    timer = new Timer(cb, reset, 1000, Convert.ToInt64(this.Interval.TotalSeconds));
}

private void ProcessTimerEvent(object obj)
{
    if (Tick != null)
        Tick(this, EventArgs.Empty);
}

I want dispose Timer inside of this and then timer work.

in my TickEvent i excecute a method but don’t complate this.

 void MyTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
 if(value)
   MyFunction();
}

Timer must be taken to stop until MyFunction complete.

Answer 1

I use this code.

TryEnter/Exit. No need to stop/restart the timer in that case; overlapping calls will not acquire the lock and return immediately.

object lockObject = new object();

private void ProcessTimerEvent(object state) 
 {
  if (Monitor.TryEnter(lockObject))
  {
   try
   {
   // Work here
   }
   finally
    {
   Monitor.Exit(lockObject);
    }
   }
  }
