How to pause a timer in C #?

Question

I have a timer in my code with an interval of 10 seconds.

When the time runs out, I will do some checking. It may take more than 10 seconds to check and some update tasks.

However, if I did not stop the timer, it seems that the check will be performed every 10 seconds. If I call stop() , the timer cannot be started again. eg:

  protected void timer_elapsed(object sender, EventArgs args) { __timer.Stop(); //Some checking here more than 10s __timer.Start(); } 

I just want another 10 seconds to be checked again before the check is completed.

Can anyone help?

Assuming this is something like winforms or WPF, this should work. Are you sure you are not getting an exception or anything else?

If this is a website, all bets are disabled; -p Perhaps you should clarify if it is System.Threading.Timer , System.Timers.Timer or System.Windows.Forms.Timer or something else.
