Les deux System.Timers.Timer
et System.Threading.Timer
travailleront pour les services.
Les minuteries que vous souhaitez éviter sont System.Web.UI.Timer
et System.Windows.Forms.Timer
, qui sont respectivement pour les applications ASP et WinForms. Leur utilisation entraînera le chargement d'un assemblage supplémentaire par le service qui n'est pas vraiment nécessaire pour le type d'application que vous créez.
Utilisez System.Timers.Timer
comme l'exemple suivant (assurez-vous également d'utiliser une variable de niveau de classe pour empêcher le garbage collection, comme indiqué dans la réponse de Tim Robinson):
using System;
using System.Timers;
public class Timer1
{
private static System.Timers.Timer aTimer;
public static void Main()
{
// Normally, the timer is declared at the class level,
// so that it stays in scope as long as it is needed.
// If the timer is declared in a long-running method,
// KeepAlive must be used to prevent the JIT compiler
// from allowing aggressive garbage collection to occur
// before the method ends. (See end of method.)
//System.Timers.Timer aTimer;
// Create a timer with a ten second interval.
aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);
// Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer.
aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
// Set the Interval to 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds).
aTimer.Interval = 2000;
aTimer.Enabled = true;
Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program.");
Console.ReadLine();
// If the timer is declared in a long-running method, use
// KeepAlive to prevent garbage collection from occurring
// before the method ends.
//GC.KeepAlive(aTimer);
}
// Specify what you want to happen when the Elapsed event is
// raised.
private static void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("The Elapsed event was raised at {0}", e.SignalTime);
}
}
/* This code example produces output similar to the following:
Press the Enter key to exit the program.
The Elapsed event was raised at 5/20/2007 8:42:27 PM
The Elapsed event was raised at 5/20/2007 8:42:29 PM
The Elapsed event was raised at 5/20/2007 8:42:31 PM
...
*/
Si vous le souhaitez System.Threading.Timer
, vous pouvez utiliser comme suit:
using System;
using System.Threading;
class TimerExample
{
static void Main()
{
AutoResetEvent autoEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
StatusChecker statusChecker = new StatusChecker(10);
// Create the delegate that invokes methods for the timer.
TimerCallback timerDelegate =
new TimerCallback(statusChecker.CheckStatus);
// Create a timer that signals the delegate to invoke
// CheckStatus after one second, and every 1/4 second
// thereafter.
Console.WriteLine("{0} Creating timer.\n",
DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm:ss.fff"));
Timer stateTimer =
new Timer(timerDelegate, autoEvent, 1000, 250);
// When autoEvent signals, change the period to every
// 1/2 second.
autoEvent.WaitOne(5000, false);
stateTimer.Change(0, 500);
Console.WriteLine("\nChanging period.\n");
// When autoEvent signals the second time, dispose of
// the timer.
autoEvent.WaitOne(5000, false);
stateTimer.Dispose();
Console.WriteLine("\nDestroying timer.");
}
}
class StatusChecker
{
int invokeCount, maxCount;
public StatusChecker(int count)
{
invokeCount = 0;
maxCount = count;
}
// This method is called by the timer delegate.
public void CheckStatus(Object stateInfo)
{
AutoResetEvent autoEvent = (AutoResetEvent)stateInfo;
Console.WriteLine("{0} Checking status {1,2}.",
DateTime.Now.ToString("h:mm:ss.fff"),
(++invokeCount).ToString());
if(invokeCount == maxCount)
{
// Reset the counter and signal Main.
invokeCount = 0;
autoEvent.Set();
}
}
}
