Has anyone worked with the "Server-Based Timer" noted in the Net.SDK Documentation? It sound a lot like a VB6 timer control, but server based. I've tried some samples but only get erratic results (ie fires the timer event sometimes, sometimes not).<BR><BR>I've checked the MSDN Libruary, ASP.Net web site and a number of other sources (4-Guys, ASP.NetPro, VS.Net documenttion, etc.). So far I have not found a simple demo that shows how this control is set up and used. One real puzzleing question is how state is maintained.<BR><BR>This control can be found in the "System.ComponentModel.Component" NameSpace under System.Timers.<BR><BR>If anyone has any experience or sample code relating to this, please share it.<BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Tom TAre you wanting to use this through an ASP.NET Web page or a Windows application? Trust me, you don't want to use it on the server.Hey !!!!<BR><BR>Finally someone who has at least tried it.<BR><BR>I don't have a specific use at the moment, but used timers a lot with windows apps.<BR><BR>I was trying to get a sample put together (server-based) just to become a little more familar with how it is used.<BR><BR>Well, I got my sample put together building a VS web app.<BR>The timer object is a regular drag & drop from the toolbox.<BR><BR>I tried to set the event fired by the timer to write to a textbox on my page.<BR><BR>Sometimes it works, sometimes not, and not many clues as to when or why.<BR><BR>What has your experience been with this?<BR><BR>Thanks for responding,<BR><BR>Tom T
