Timer in a DLL?

tttbag

hi guys,

i wanna implement a routine,which will be executed at a specific time interval, in a DLL.

That is quite simple, if I write a windows form application. Because I can use the Timer component from the tool box.

But how can I implement the timer in a Dll?

Any help will be appreciated.

Use the Timer class manually.
(There are 3 System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Threading.Timer, and...)

If using in confunction with GUI things, i suggest to use the one from System.Windows.Forms, otherwise the other one.

Edit:
BTW you can have at the generated code by the visual studio designer.

Hi

thanks theta. I have implemented the Timer in DLL successfully. Now another problem arised. The timer triggled function in DLL must be in type void. So how can I return the string values, which created in the timer triggled function in DLL, to the exe application?

Do u have any idea? or any one know? How can I return values at every seconde for example from my dll to the exe application?

Regard,
