Timer crashes app

[JJayUK]

I have an application reading performance counters and representing the data returned in a set of progress bars.

The timer triggers every 100 milliseconds and reads the next performance counter before updating the progress bar with the new value.

My form crashs whenever I try to close it, though, and I've pinned it down to the timer. When I try to disabled/stop it.

Anyone experienced this before?

Have you considered using a separate thread? Or is that what you are already doing? You could make the thread sleep for .1 seconds and check the next performance counter. I'm not familiar with a timer per se - just using threads.

an instance of Timer starts it's own thread to run in anyway socrates.

Oops. I guess I ought to do my homework. Shucks.
