I want to create small Digital clock in WPF, I did it in VS 2008 but not much nice looking. So I open Microsoft Expression Blend 3, but we cannot find timer Component in there.
- Create WPF Application in Blend
- Add DispatcherTimer using System.Windows.Threading.
- With timer.Tick we can Give something to happen
- timer.Interval can be use to define when to tick
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows;
using System.Windows.Controls;
using System.Windows.Data;
using System.Windows.Documents;
using System.Windows.Input;
using System.Windows.Media;
using System.Windows.Media.Imaging;
using System.Windows.Shapes;
using System.Windows.Threading;
namespace MyTimer
{
///
/// Interaction logic for MainWindow.xaml
///
public partial class MainWindow : Window
{
DispatcherTimer timer;
public MainWindow()
{
this.InitializeComponent();
timer = new DispatcherTimer();
timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1.0);
timer.Start();
timer.Tick += new EventHandler(delegate(object s, EventArgs a)
{
tb.Text = "" + DateTime.Now.Hour +":"
+ DateTime.Now.Minute +":"
+ DateTime.Now.Second;
});
}
}
}
