(The following text is written without knowledge of the exact innards of System.Timers.Timer. It is therefore somewhat speculative.) Due to the timer using multithreading, Enabled might be set to false, although the event was signaled at the right time. Consider the following scenarios: in both, Enabled is set to false, but in scenario 1, the event was scheduled before the stop method was called, while in scenario 2, the event was scheduled afterwards. There might be use cases, where the event of scenario 1 must be handled, while that of scenario 2 must not. Scenario 1: 1 - Timer fires 2 - Stop is called 3 - Event is executed: SignalTime is 1 (before Stop) 4 - Timer is stopped Scenaro 2: 1 - Stop is called 2 - Timer fires 3 - Event is executed: SignalTime is 2 (after Stop) 4 - Timer is stopped Fabian =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor® http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com
