Hi All,
I am facing a vary basic problem with timer. I want a timer to start counting an integer i with a start-button-press and stop counting with a stop-button-press. Then start counting again with start-button-press and so on. The code looks like the following sample snippet:
int i=0;
Timer tmrTest = new Timer();
public void OnTimerEvent_test(object source, EventArgs e)
{
i++;
txtCounter.Text = i.ToString();
}
private void btnStartTimer_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
tmrTest.Enabled = true;
tmrTest.Interval = 500;
tmrTest.Tick += new System.EventHandler(OnTimerEvent_test);
private void btnStopTimer_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
tmrTest.Enabled = false;
The problem is on start-button-press first time it counts i as i+1 but in second start-button-press it counts i as i+2, for 3rd it's i+3 and so on. But I want the counting to be always i=i+1;
May be this is a very simple issue while handling timer but I failed to get any solution. Please help me to solve this out. And tell me the reason, why is this timer behaving like this?
Thanks in advance
