How to execute a method periodically from WPF client application using threading or timer [closed]

Answer 1

You need to use Timer class. There are multiple built-in timers and it depends on the requirement which timer to use.

1. System.Timers.Timer: This is more suitable for mutlithreaded access. Instances of this timer are threadsafe.

2. System.Threading.Timer : Instances of this timer are not thread safe.

3. System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer -> It sends event to Dispatcher thread (and is not multithreaded). This is useful if you need to update UI.

4. System.Windows.Forms.Timer -> This timer raises events in UI thread. This is optimized for windows forms, and not to be used in WPF.
