System.Threading.Timer callback gets called after Change(Timeout.Infinite,Timeout.Infinite)

Question

Hello everyone,

 

It would seem the System.Threading.Timer callback may be called once even after Change(Timeout.Infinite,Timeout.Infinite).

Anyone had the same problem?

 

Thanks

Hi, lmira

 

Unlike the System.Windows.Forms.Timer whose Tick event is called by the UI thread, the callback of the System.Threading.Timer is executed on worker threads. So there are chances that when you call the Change method to stop the Threading.Timer, one or even several callbacks are already queued so they will eventually be executed.
