Non-reentrant timers

Question

I have a function that I want to invoke every x seconds, but I want it to be thread-safe.

Can I set up this behavior when I am creating the timer? (I don\'t

Answer 1

I know I can implement locks inside my callback function, but I think it will be more elegant if it will be in the timer level

If locking is necessary then how could a timer arrange that? You're looking for a magical freebie.

Re Edit1:

Your choices are System.Timers.Timer and System.Threading.Timer, both need precautions against re-entrance. See this page and look for the Dealing with Timer Event Reentrance section.
