C# How to stop a Timer after 10 min
-1
I tried to write some values after every 10 seconds for 10 minutes in a Text file.
My code looks like this.
private void button12_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
DispatcherTimer tPOI = new DispatcherTimer();
tPOI.Tick += new System.EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_TickPOI);
tPOI.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
tPOI.Start();
MessageBox.Show("recording POI");
}
private void dispatcherTimer_TickPOI(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
using (StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(@textBox36.Text, true))
{
file.WriteLine("pos POI");
file.WriteLine(textBox40.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox41.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox42.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox46.Text);
}
}
But now i don't know how to stop my Timer after 10 minutes. Does anyone have a hint for me?

either you count the amount ofdispatcherTimer_TickPOIcalls: 6 per minute for 10 minutes = 60 times. Or you have a second timer which fires after 10 Minutes and stops the first one

You can do something like this. Track the StartTime and check if it crossed 10 mins.
private DateTime _startTime; //track the start time
private DispatcherTimer tPOI;
private void button12_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
tPOI = new DispatcherTimer();
tPOI.Tick += new System.EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_TickPOI);
tPOI.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 10);
_startTime = DateTime.Now; //assign start time when it actually starts
tPOI.Start();
MessageBox.Show("recording POI");
}
private void dispatcherTimer_TickPOI(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (_startTime.AddMinutes(10) < DateTime.Now) //check if it has crossed 10 mins
{
tPOI.Stop();
}
else
{
using(StreamWriter file = new StreamWriter(@textBox36.Text, true))
{
file.WriteLine("pos POI");
file.WriteLine(textBox40.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox41.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox42.Text);
file.WriteLine(textBox46.Text);
}
}
}

It probably doesn't matter much in this case due to the small number of invocations (60), but using the pattern above, storing a "stop time" equal to Now+10 minutes in the "Click" method prevents having to add 10 minutes each time you check. Also, in general I would use a count to 60 instead, if it's important that the timer fires exactly "10*60 seconds/10 seconds" times, as suggested above.
