This article shows how to create a Timer using multithreading in a console application.

The following is the procedure.

First you need to install Visual Studio 2010.

Then open Visual Studio and select "New Project...".



After opening New Projects you see this window and use the following procedure.



After Visual Studio opens on the program platform write your C# code for the console application.


You visit the Visual Studio programming platform and write there the code for the program of the console based application.

Example:

  1. using System;
  2. using System.Collections.Generic;
  3. using System.Text;
  4. using System.Threading;
  6. namespace Clock_MultiThreading
  7. {
  8. class Program
  9. {
  10. static void Main(string[] args)
  11. {
  12. Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Timer Clock Multithread Program\t By Krishna Singh");
  13. Console.SetCursorPosition(03, 08); //set the cursor position
  14. Console.Write("12 hour clock in "); //set clock type 12hrs or 24hrs i set here 12 hrs clock
  15. Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 08);
  16. Console.WriteLine("hr:min:sec:M.Sec");
  17. Console.Beep();
  18. for (int hr = 0; hr <= 11; hr++) // Apply for loop for hour
  19. {
  20. for (int min = 0; min <= 59; min++) // Apply for loop for min
  21. {
  22. for (int sec = 0; sec <= 59; sec++) // Apply for loop for sec
  23. {
  24. for (int Msec = 0; Msec < 99; Msec++) // Apply for loop for Msec
  25. {
  26. if (hr < 10) //Apply if condition for hour
  27. {
  28. if (min < 10) //Apply if condition for min
  29. {
  30. if (sec < 10) //Apply if condition for sec
  31. {
  32. Console.SetCursorPosition(18, 10);
  33. Console.Write("[ 0{0}: 0{1}: 0{2}:{3} ]", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  34. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  35. }
  36. else if (sec >= 10)
  37. {
  38. Console.SetCursorPosition(18, 10);
  39. Console.Write("[ 0{0}: 0{1}: {2}:{3} ]", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  40. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  41. }
  42. }
  43. else if (min >= 10)
  44. {
  45. if (sec < 10)
  46. {
  47. Console.SetCursorPosition(18, 10);
  48. Console.Write("[ 0{0}: {1}: 0{2}:{3} ]", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  49. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time slep
  50. }
  51. else if (sec >= 10)
  52. {
  53. Console.SetCursorPosition(18, 10);
  54. Console.Write("[ 0{0}: {1}: {2}:{3} ]", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  55. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  56. }
  57. }
  58. }
  59. else if (hr >= 10)
  60. {
  61. if (min < 10)
  62. {
  63. if (sec < 10)
  64. {
  65. Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 10);
  66. Console.Write("{0}:0{1}:0{2}:{3}", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  67. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  68. }
  69. else if (sec >= 10)
  70. {
  71. Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 10);
  72. Console.Write("{0}:0{1}:{2}:{3}", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  73. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  74. }
  75. }
  76. else if (min >= 10)
  77. {
  78. if (sec < 10)
  79. {
  80. Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 10);
  81. Console.Write("{0}:{1}:0{2}:{3}", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  82. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  83. }
  84. else if (sec >= 10)
  85. {
  86. Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 10);
  87. Console.Write("{0}:{1}:{2}:{3}", hr, min, sec, Msec);
  88. Thread.Sleep(10); //apply thread with time sleep
  89. }
  90. }
  91. }
  92. }
  93. Console.Beep();
  94. }
  95. Console.Beep(); Console.Beep();
  96. }
  97. }
  98. Console.ReadKey();
  99. }
  100. }
  101. }

The following is the output:



So friends, this is a small article to help you create a Timer of a multithread based program console application in C#. The next time I will provide an even more interesting article, thank you. I hope this was helpful for you. Enjoy :).Krishna Singh
