This may not be a nice question to ask. I need to run an operation every 1 or 2 minutes in my C++ metro app. I plan to run this on a timer event using DispatchTimer, though I know that the Interval value of the timer is
not advisable to be set beyond a certain limit. ( it shows warning sometimes if set a beyond the limit). Is it a nice approach to have a timer fire every 1 or 2 minutes in a Metro app ?
I could have gone for background task for my purpose, but background tasks fire only at 15 minutes interval and that's too long a period for this purpose. Also, the app needs to be placed on lock screen for background tasks. Any other approach if timer approach is
not good for my purpose?
