Hello,
I have a GUI with a timer... but when I put too many lines of code inside the timer method, the GUI lags.
private void timer_tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { ... }
How could I resolve this problem? I know there are 3 types of timer... Do I use the correct one?
Any help is appreciated.
Jump to PostWhat is the code doing? If it is on the main thread and it is doing a lot it can freeze the UI. Consider running the code on another thread.
Jump to PostThere are various ways. BackgroundWorker is probably best.

Thanks for the reply.
The code only changes some labels on the main thread. How can I run the code in another thread?

I mark this question as solved, but please could you show me how can I use BackgroundWorker in my case?
After adding the BW, I have backgroundWorker_DoWork() method. Where should I put the code for the labels? There? And that method runs at regular intervals?
Sure - no point in me reineventing the wheel though - here is a good video.
