Auto save - WPF C#

Question

Is there a way in which I can save details from a ListView that doesnt require me to use the save dialog box everytime and allows me to call it within a certain time span. So 'save' rather than 'save as' everytime.

Answer 1

You can use a DispatchTimer with a callback to a method to perform your save.

    DispatcherTimer autosaveTimer = new DispatcherTimer(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(autosaveInterval), DispatcherPriority.Background, new EventHandler(DoAutoSave), Application.Current.Dispatcher);

    private void DoAutoSave(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        // Enter save logic here...
    }
