Where is the Timer.Elapsed property?

Question

I have included the System.Timers package, but when I type:

Timer.Elapsed; //its not working, the property elapsed is just not there.

I remember it was there in VB.NET. Why doesn't this work?

Answer 1

It's not a property. It's an event.

So you gotta provide an event handler that will execute every time the timer ticks. Something like this:

public void CreateTimer() 
{
    var timer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000); // fire every 1 second
    timer.Elapsed += HandleTimerElapsed;
}

public void HandleTimerElapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    // do whatever it is that you need to do on a timer
}
