System.Timers.Timer

[=?Utf-8?B?QnNtZW5nZW4=?=]

I create the timer like this:

StreamingTimer = new System.Timers.T imer();
StreamingTimer. Elapsed += new
System.Timers.E lapsedEventHand ler(StreamingPr oc);
StreamingTimer. Interval = 1000;
StreamingTimer. Enabled = true;
StreamingTimer. Start();

To dispose of the timer, I did this:
StreamingTimer. Elapsed -= new
System.Timers.E lapsedEventHand ler(StreamingPr oc);
StreamingTimer. Dispose();

Is that the correct way to close (dispose) a System.Timers.T imer?

Do I have to deal with closing any thread in relation to the
System.Timers.T imer?

Thanks,
Bob

Setting "Enabled" to "true" is synonymous with calling "Start()". It's
redundant to do both.

To dispose of the timer, I did this:
StreamingTimer. Elapsed -= new
System.Timers.E lapsedEventHand ler(StreamingPr oc);
StreamingTimer. Dispose();

Seems fine to me. There's not actually any need to remove your event
handler, but it's not harmful to do so.

No. You didn't create any thread, so there's no need for you to
close/dispose any thread.
