Hello,

I am developing a Silverlight application with custom animations. I want to update the variable animationCounter every 1 milissecond, so that in one second the value is 1000. I've tried DispatcherTimer and System.Threading.Timer. this way:

DispatcherTimer timer = new DispatcherTimer(); (...)
timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 1);
timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer_Tick); (...)

(...)

void timer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
      animationCounter++;
      Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => txtAnimationCounter.Text = animationCounter.ToString());
}

with System.Threading.Timer

System.Threading timer = null;
timer = new System.Threading.Timer(UpdateAnimationCounter, 0, 1);

void UpdateAnimationCounter(object state)
{
                animationCounter++;
      Dispatcher.BeginInvoke(() => txtAnimationCounter.Text = animationCounter.ToString());
}

Both of them are setting AnimationCounter around 100 in one second. Should be 1000. I don't know why. Is there anything I'm missing.

Thanks
