TimerSink.NET

Uses a Stopwatch and PrecisionTimer to track a pool of Tasks and complete them at regular Intervals

The Resolution for events is 1 Millisecond and the TimerSink is capable of honoring it.

TimingSinkItems can be set to wait for the Synchronization Context, The default is ConfigureAwait(false)

Usage

Create a TimingSink

TimingSink tSink = new TimingSink();

Create a TimingSinkItem with ConfigureAwait(false) that will run every 200ms

private void TaskMethod() { // Your Code Here }
TimingSinkItem TaskToTime = new TimingSinkItem(TaskMethod, 200);

Add the TimingSinkItem to the TimingSink

tSink.TimingSinkItems.Add(TaskToTime);

Start the Sink.

tSink.Start();

Examples

Create a TimingSinkItem with ConfigureAwait(false) that will run every 200ms

TimingSinkItem TaskToTime = new TimingSinkItem(TaskMethod, 200);
private void TaskMethod() { }

Create a TimingSinkItem with ConfigureAwait(true)

TimingSinkItem TaskToTimeAwaitUI = new TimingSinkItem(TaskMethodUI, 200, true);
private void TaskMethodUI() { }

Create a TimingSinkItem with ConfigureAwait(true) and throwOnError to catch exceptions

TimingSinkItem TaskToTimeThrowError = new TimingSinkItem(TaskMethodUI, 200, true, true);

Check the Health of the Sink

if(tSink.SinkFaulted){ }

Warning

Your Tasks will execute at the Interval and Execution time is Excluded.

If you place a long running activity into a TimerSinkItem and set the Interval to be shorter than the execution time you will end up with multiple running Tasks

You can use LockedTask.NET to ensure there is only ever one of your Task for long running methods
