I need to use a timer in my WP7 application and display it’s value in the UI.
I managed to get it working two ways: one using the DispatcherTimer class and the other using the Timer class.
The problem is that the DispatcherTimer is slower than “real-time” and the Timer class actually goes faster than “real-time”. So both go wrong.
Is this because I’m running it in the emulator? Don’t have a device to test it on. Anyone had this issue and tested on both?
To show time accurate to one second on screen, I use a
DispatcherTimerthat updates every 500 milliseconds and then subtract the current time from the start time to get the time elapsed and display that on-screen.Does that help?
