    Timer Array

    Hi,

    I'm trying to convert a VB ocx into a .NET dll. This dll ties into several
    automated doors at our facility, and each door has a timer event attached
    to it. When the user swipes his access card, he has a predetermined amount
    of time (5 seconds) to open the door before the strike is re-enabled and
    the door re-locks.

    My problem is that I cannot declare an array of timers in .NET; I get the
    error "'WithEvent s' variables cannot be typed as arrays."

    How would I work around this issue?

    Regards,
    Scott

      Declare an array of timers, and then use AddHandler/RemoveHandler to
      add/remove event registrations manually.

          What kind of timer are you using?
          >
          System.Timer?
          System.Threadin g.Timer?
          System.Window.F orms.Timer?
          Just a generic System.Window.F orms.Timer for this instance.

              Since this is a background process, you should use System.Timer.Ti mer.

              Forms.Timer uses the message pump... so if your app is under load, the
              timers are not accurate.
