Make a timer go once

Make a timer go once

• El locolito

  Your timer needs to be a member variable, not just in the scope of a method.

  This means that

  Timer clock = new Timer();

  goes inside the class, but outside of any methods.

  Sorry, I just assumed it was, but I see now it wasn't.

  I tried that:

  The name 'clock' does not exist in the current context

  System.Timers.Timer t = new System.Timers.Timer();

  t.AutoReset = false;

  t.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(sc_TikTak);

  t.Interval = 1000;

  t.Start();

   

   

   

  I think it is the best way to do it :)

  private void start(object sender, EventArgs e) {

  clock.Stop();

  Yup, that's the best way. And if you add the timer via the windows forms designer, you can set the AutoReset property right in the properties page for the timer.
