Question

So I’m trying to run an event every 5 seconds. Seems to work using System.Timers.Timer to some extend but it seems to be skipping sometimes, not even responding late, just plain skipping it.

Anything I could do about this?

        internal void DetermineScreenCapping()
        {
            System.Timers.Timer ScreenCapTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
            /// Initialize the screencapper (doesn't enable it yet)
            // Tell the timer what top do when it elapses
            ScreenCapTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(ExecuteCode);
            // Set it to go off every five seconds
            ScreenCapTimer.Interval = 5000;
            // And start it        
            ScreenCapTimer.Enabled = true;
        }
    private void ExecuteCode(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (IsCurrentlyWorking == true)
        {
            Execute Code
        }

    }

The problem indeed wasn’t the timer not doing it’s job. It was the code being executed that had some problems that couldn’t even be seen debugging for some reason.

I changed the code and the timer works properly now ^^
