C# Timer

Ziycon

I'm using the below code for when the form loads:

public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
            myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(sqlQuery);
            myTimer.Interval = 5000;
            myTimer.Start();
        }

Only thing is that the new ElapsedEventHandler(sqlQuery); keeps giving me a warning as below and i can't figure it out!?

No overload for 'sqlQuery' matches delegate 'System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler'

Can anyone help me out here!?

What is sqlQuery? The argument to 'new ElapsedEventHandler' should be the name of a method that's defined with ElapsedEventHandlers' signature, something like:

private void sqlQuery(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
}

Mr. Flibble

Try giving the sqlQuery function the following args:

sqlQuery(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
.
.
}

But leave the line
myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(sqlQuery);
as it is. ie. don't try and pass it source or e.
