How to access programmatically created timer controls?

Question

In a WinForms (C#) application I have several custom controls created at run-time. These custom controls are called JobTimers and inherit/extend the standard control Timer.

public class JobTimer : System.Windows.Forms.Timer
{
    private int IntJobID;
    public int JobID
    {
        get{return IntJobID;}
        set{IntJobID = value;}
    }
}

public static void CreateTimer(int JobID) 
{
    JobTimer ControlJobTimer = new JobTimer();
    ControlJobTimer.Enabled = true;
    ControlJobTimer.JobID = JobID;
    ControlJobTimer.Interval = 30000;
    ControlJobTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(JobTimer_Tick);
    ControlJobTimer.Start(); 
}

Similar to how we would query the collection of standard or custom controls on the Form - Can we access/query the collection of these custom JobTimer controls?

NOTE: The reason for this question to appear is that I don't see these controls getting docked/placed in any of the forms, thereby existing purely in the program's memory only. Also upon stopping/exiting the application, these controls are gone.

In other words, how does one get a list of all timers in an application along with access to their properties?

Answer 1

    public static List<JobTimer> _timers;

    public class JobTimer : System.Windows.Forms.Timer
    {
        private int IntJobID;
        public int JobID
        {
            get { return IntJobID; }
            set { IntJobID = value; }
        }
    }

    public static void CreateTimer(int JobID)
    {
        if (_timers == null)
        {
            _timers = new List<JobTimer>();
        }
        JobTimer ControlJobTimer = new JobTimer();
        ControlJobTimer.Enabled = true;
        ControlJobTimer.JobID = JobID;
        ControlJobTimer.Interval = 30000;
        ControlJobTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(JobTimer_Tick);
        ControlJobTimer.Start();
        _timers.Add(ControlJobTimer);
    }

then you can access the global list _timers, all created instances of jobtimer will be added there
