Loop through timer in c# - asp.net

Question

I want execute a piece of code within a time period and want to exit after a certin time period.
I have a piece of code below which goes into infinite loop.
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
System.Timers.Timer aTimer;
aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
aTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
aTimer.Interval = 2000;
aTimer.Enabled = true;
}
private static void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
try
{
Console.WriteLine("Page loaded", null);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine(ex.Message, "Default");
}
}
I want to run this code for 1 minute.
So how to stop the execution and get out of the loop after 50 or 60 seconds.
Plz help me in this.

Answer 1

Try this:
Stopwatch stopwatch = new Stopwatch();
// Begin timing
stopwatch.Start();
// Do something
for (int i = 0; i < 1000; i++)
{
Thread.Sleep(60);
}
// Stop timing
stopwatch.Stop();

Can you set a boolean m_SetEnabled = true in your existing OnElapsedTime event and then add if(m_SetEnabled) { m_SetEnabled = false; return; } to just ignore the single event that gets fired.
Use the Timer class.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(v=vs.71).aspx
public static void Main()
{
System.Timers.Timer aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
aTimer.Elapsed+=new ElapsedEventHandler(OnTimedEvent);
aTimer.Interval=5000;
aTimer.Enabled=true;
Console.WriteLine("Press \'q\' to quit the sample.");
while(Console.Read()!='q');
}
// Specify what you want to happen when the Elapsed event is raised.
private static void OnTimedEvent(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
}
The Elapsed event will be raised every X amount of seconds, specified by the Interval property on the Timer object. It will call the Event Handler method you specify, in the example above it is OnTimedEvent
