Summary

Defines the shape of methods that are called by an instance of the Timer class.

Parameters

state

A Object containing application-specific information relevant to the methods invoked by instances of this delegate, or null .

Description

A TimerCallback delegate invokes its methods once after the start time elapses, and continues invoking its methods once per period until the System.Threading.Timer.Dispose(System.Threading.WaitHandle) method is called. [Note: The start time for a Timer is passed in the dueTime parameter of the Timer constructors, and the period is passed via the period parameter. ]

[Note: For an example that demonstrates creating and using a TimerCallback delegate, see the Timer class.]
