Hello,
I have a GUI with a timer... but when I put too many lines of code inside the timer method, the GUI lags.
private void timer_tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... }
How could I resolve this problem? I know there are 3 types of timer... Do I use the correct one?
Any help is appreciated.
What is the code doing? If it is on the main thread and it is doing a lot it can freeze the UI. Consider running the code on another thread.
Thanks for the reply.
The code only changes some labels on the main thread. How can I run the code in another thread?
There are various ways. BackgroundWorker is probably best.
I mark this question as solved, but please could you show me how can I use BackgroundWorker in my case?
After adding the BW, I have backgroundWorker_DoWork() method. Where should I put the code for the labels? There? And that method runs at regular intervals?
Sure - no point in me reineventing the wheel though - here is a good video.
