Basic C# Application

[millzy7]

Hi,

I have a timer control which writes to a file every 5 seconds but the application closes down before it gets to the second firing of the timer. How can i get the application to stay alive until the next timer interval comes around?

Thanks

Basic processing is to initialises the application, then wait for events. One of these will be your timer pop, others will be GUI interactions, some of which should cause the app to exit.

It sounds like you are exiting without waiting for an event that tells you to do so.

Perhaps you can post some code?

Thats sounds exactly like my problem. In my main method, i create an object that does all the work, as soon as that has completed, the main method completes and the application exits. I just want the application to sit around and wait for teh timer control to do stuff

If it's a Console application, just do a Console.ReadLine to wait for a keypress to terminate the app.

Can you use System.Threading to pause processing before your app exits then call your timer after 5 seconds have elapsed?
