System.Timers.Timer/Threading.Timer vs Thread with WhileLoop + Thread.Sleep For Periodic Tasks
- by Alan
In my application I have to send periodic heartbeats to a "brother" application.
Is this better accomplished with System.Timers.Timer/Threading.Timer or Using a Thread with a while loop and a Thread.Sleep?
The heartbeat interval is 1 second.
while(!exit)
{
//do work
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}
or
myTimer.Start( () => {
//do work
}, 1000); //pseudo code (not actual syntax)...
