在这种情况下，我应该使用后台工作者或计时器吗？

Question

I am writing a program that manages a bunch of timers.

The user has to start them manually, and is able to get information from each timer, to know the remaining time for example.

I don't want the GUI to freeze, therefore I don't want to have a timer on the main form thread that freezes the whole thing.

So, does the Timer class send the timer on a new thread, or it keeps it on the main UI thread?

Otherwise, should I use a Background Worker to accomplish this?

Answer 1

The System.Windows.Forms.Timer event runs on the UI thread.

Instead you can use a System.Threading.Timer which runs on a worker thread.
