Hallo,
I have the following code. This code creates a timer with an interval of 30 seconds. The code works just fine but if I look an the handles using perfmon (WinXP) I see that the handles used by the process is going always up. After 2 hours of test running the
process, which do nearly nothing has over 800 handles and seems not to be going down. The funny thing is if I build this project for .Net 2.0 the behavior seems correct only under .Net 4.0 this handles leak comes up. Also was the effect away if I set the timer
to 5 seconds instead of 30.
Can anyone explain this.
Snippet
sing System;
using System.Diagnostics;
namespace TimerLeakApplication
{
class Program
{
static int Main(string[] args)
{
var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new System.Threading.TimerCallback(timer_Elapsed));
timer.Change(0, 30000);
Console.ReadKey();
return 0;
}
private static void timer_Elapsed(object args)
{
double count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
count += Math.Sin(Convert.ToDouble(i));
}
Console.WriteLine(count);
}
}
