Hello,

In .Net We have 3 timer:

1-System.Timer

2-Form.Timer

3-Threading.Timer

 

I want to update more that 95 control each 500ms (Some string check like String.Length and Convert with TryParse and some control happen in this timer)

 

Now which timer is better for me?

No doubt it's the form timer, it's the contextually correct implementation.

Just check the amount of controls you need to check each time, looks like a lot.

I also suggest you don't use control.refresh, but form.refresh() when you are done with the updates.

 I agree with Rabit (O_O similar name, similar pictures we must be brothers ) Nothing really beats .Net form timer in .Net framework, you have so much control and flexibility, it's also good if you're porting your project to other .Net languages (like VB) cuz it uses the same timer system

Anything "threaded" and you'll have to Invoke the UI thread anyways, which is just a waste of CPU time, and a performance loss really. System.Windows.Forms.Timer.
