Re: Timer - Once a week
Wesley -
In non-GUI programs (such as console or services) you should be using
the timer in System.Threading, rather than the one in Windows Forms. It
allows you to set it based upon a LONG or also a TIMESPAN. The one in
windows forms uses the message pump for notifications, so not really
"tuned" to non-GUI applications.
One form of "Change" method allows you to specify the time until next
event, and the second parameter is the interval which you want it to
repeat on. A week is: 6,048,000,000 which a LONG can represent.
