Question

I have a JavaScript code that I want to bring the idea into my C# project.
This code brings multiple function call into a single management delayed call.

Here is the JavaScript code:

  var ArgumentsCollection = [] ;
  var to_TimeOut = null ;

  function QueueWorkRunOnce(Argument) {
  clearTimeout(to_TimeOut);
  ArgumentsCollection.push(Argument) ;
        to_TimeOut = setTimeout(/* delegate */ function(){                  
            Worker(ArgumentsCollection); 
            //Reset ArgumentsCollection
            ArgumentsCollection = [] ;

        },/*Delay in ms*/ 1000 );
    }
    function Worker(Collection){
        alert(Collection.join(" ")) ;
    }

    onload = function(){
        QueueWorkRunOnce("Hi")
        //Some other stuff
        QueueWorkRunOnce("There")
        //Some other stuff
        QueueWorkRunOnce("Hello")
        QueueWorkRunOnce("World")

        //after Xms + 1000ms Will alert("Hi There Hello World") ;
    }()

Here’s a rough translation to get you started:

var worker = new Action<IEnumerable<string>>(collection =>
{
    Console.WriteLine(string.Join(" ", collection));
});

var args = new List<string>();
var timer = new Timer(state =>
{
    worker(args);
    //Reset args
    args.Clear();
});

var queueWorkRunOnce = new Action<string>(arg =>
{
    args.Add(arg);
    timer.Change(/*Delay in ms*/ 1000, Timeout.Infinite);
});

queueWorkRunOnce("Hi");
//Some other stuff
queueWorkRunOnce("There");
//Some other stuff
queueWorkRunOnce("Hello");
queueWorkRunOnce("World");

Console.ReadKey();

Making this thread-safe is left as an exercise for the reader.
