Timer takes 10 ms more then interval
- by Praveen
Hi All,
I am using a timer with interval 50 miliseconds.
But in the timer's tick event when I print the time it's always 62 or 65 ms.
I don't understand why it's taking 10 ms more.
Please can some one have look into this.
Here is the code I am using.
static int _counter;
System.Timers.Timer _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000);
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
_timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
_timer.Start();
}
void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("{hh:mm:ss.fff}"));
_counter++;
if (_counter == 20)
_timer.Stop();
}
And this the output:
{01:59:08.381}
{01:59:09.393}
{01:59:10.407}
{01:59:11.421}
{01:59:12.435}
{01:59:13.449}
{01:59:14.463}
{01:59:15.477}
{01:59:16.491}
{01:59:17.505}
{01:59:18.519}
{01:59:19.533}
{01:59:20.547}
{01:59:21.561}
{01:59:22.575}
{01:59:23.589}
{01:59:24.603}
{01:59:25.615}
{01:59:26.629}
{01:59:27.643}
