ElapsedEventHandler Delegate
Assembly: System (in system.dll)
'Declaration Public Delegate Sub ElapsedEventHandler ( _ sender As Object, _ e As ElapsedEventArgs _ ) 'Usage Dim instance As New ElapsedEventHandler(AddressOf HandlerMethod)
/** @delegate */ public delegate void ElapsedEventHandler ( Object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e )
Not applicable.
Parameters
- sender
The source of the event.
- e
An ElapsedEventArgs object that contains the event data.
When you create an ElapsedEventHandler delegate, you identify the method that will handle the event. To associate the event with your event handler, add an instance of the delegate to the event. The event handler is called whenever the event occurs, unless you remove the delegate. For more information about event handler delegates, see Events and Delegates.
The following code example sets up an event handler for the Timer.Elapsed event, creates a timer, and starts the timer. The event handler has the same signature as the ElapsedEventHandler delegate. The event handler displays the SignalTime property each time it is raised.
Imports System Imports System.Timers Public Class Timer1 Public Shared Sub Main() ' Normally, the timer is declared at the class level, so ' that it doesn't go out of scope when the method ends. ' In this example, the timer is needed only while Main ' is executing. However, KeepAlive must be used at the ' end of Main, to prevent the JIT compiler from allowing ' aggressive garbage collection to occur before Main ' ends. Dim aTimer As New System.Timers.Timer() ' Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer. AddHandler aTimer.Elapsed, AddressOf OnTimedEvent ' Set the Interval to 2 seconds (2000 milliseconds). aTimer.Interval = 2000 aTimer.Enabled = True Console.WriteLine("Press the Enter key to exit the program.") Console.ReadLine() ' Keep the timer alive until the end of Main. GC.KeepAlive(aTimer) End Sub ' Specify what you want to happen when the Elapsed event is ' raised. Private Shared Sub OnTimedEvent(source As Object, e As ElapsedEventArgs) Console.WriteLine("Hello World!") End Sub End Class
