SchedulerService
The ISchedulerService
allows a developer to schedule an action in the relative or absolute future. The SchedulerService
will use the DispatcherTimer
to invoke the action.
Note that the SchedulerService
does not provide any persistence of actions and schedules. When the application is closed, all schedules are lost because they are kept in memory.
Scheduling an action in the relative future
To schedule an action in the relative future, use the Schedule
method with the TimeSpan
overload. The code below starts the action with a delay of 50 milliseconds.
var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var schedulerService = dependencyResolver.Resolve<ISchedulerService>();
schedulerService.Schedule(() => DoSomething(), new TimeSpan(0, 0, 0, 0, 50));
Scheduling an action in the absolute future
To schedule an action in the absolute future, use the Schedule
method with the DateTime
overload. The code below starts the action in 5 minutes.
var dependencyResolver = this.GetDependencyResolver();
var schedulerService = dependencyResolver.Resolve<ISchedulerService>();
schedulerService.Schedule(() => DoSomething(), DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5));
