WPF Timer Like C# Timer

The usual WPF timer is the DispatcherTimer, which is not a control but used in code. It basically works the same way like the WinForms timer:

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += dispatcherTimer_Tick;
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,1);
dispatcherTimer.Start();


private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  // code goes here
}

More on the DispatcherTimer can be found here

With Dispatcher you will need to include

using System.Windows.Threading;

Also note that if you right-click DispatcherTimer and click Resolve it should add the appropriate references.

you can also use

using System.Timers;
using System.Threading;
