Threading.Timer invokes asynchronously many methods
- by Dimitar
Hi guys! Please help!
I call a threading.timer from global.asax which invokes many methods each of which gets data from different services and writes it to files.
My question is how do i make the methods to be invoked on a regular basis let's say 5 mins?
What i do is:
in Global.asax I declare a timer
protected void Application_Start()
{
TimerCallback timerDelegate = new TimerCallback(myMainMethod);
Timer mytimer = new Timer(timerDelegate, null, 0, 300000);
Application.Add("timer", mytimer);
}
the declaration of myMainMethod looks like this:
public static void myMainMethod(object obj)
{
MyDelegateType d1 = new MyDelegateType(getandwriteServiceData1);
d1.BeginInvoke(null, null);
MyDelegateType d2 = new MyDelegateType(getandwriteServiceData2);
d2.BeginInvoke(null, null);
}
this approach works fine but it invokes myMainMethod every 5 mins. What I need is the method to be invoked 5 mins after all the data is retreaved and written to files on the server.
How do I do that?
