Good Day,
i'm facing a problem in the timer interval,
the timer1_Tick event is not fired according to the interval i'm giving it!!!

i created my timer by wizard(drag-drop), and in the event timer1_Tick i write:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {    
            Lbl_TimeLeft.Text = counter.ToString();
            counter = counter - 1;          
        }

counter is initialized as integer with value 100.
i'm giving the interval different values (10 or 10000 millisecond) but it is not effected, the label is still changing the same

10x

Please provide your code where you have created the timer.

impoved my question

Not fired at all? Not fired at the right time - if so, wrong by how big an interval / how accurate do you need it?

Just in case . . . have you specified the interval in milliseconds (not seconds or any other time unit)

it is fired in wrong time, i don't know according to which time, the interval is in milliseconds (i created it by wizard) and any value i assigned it is not effecting the time of firing the event!!

Presumably the counter is counting down from 100 as expected, just too fast or too slow.

Can you estimate what interval this code is actually firing at? How long does it take for the counter to get from 100 to 0?

Just to check . . . you haven't got any other code that accesses the counter variable? And no other events on the form / any of its controls that have inadvertently been linked to your timer1_Tick method? [search the relevant designer.cs to check?]

It looks like you're using System.Windows.Forms.Timers. By some reason, the accuracy of this timer is ridiculously poor. Prefer System.Timers.Timer or System.Threading.Timer.

Also, consider using a separate thread and System.Threading.Thread.Sleep. It creates much less problems then a timer. Prefer threading unless a timer is absolutely unavoidable. In most cases a timer can be totally avoided.

its working :)

try this

C#

int counter = 100;
      
       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           timer1.Enabled = true;
       }

       private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           label1.Text = counter.ToString();
           counter = counter - 1;
       }
