Timer request

[Xu]

Eric:

I tried Timer request following this topic: https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/httpfiddler/reissue/httpfiddler/8r9Hop7LMXg/0GROyv2HXWwJ.
Everything is ok at first, it runs as expecting few days. Until this morning. The Timer started, but does not raise the tick!
What is mysterious is if I put a MessageBox following the oTimer.Start() and keep the MessageBox on, it runs quite normal. But once I click the OK button to turn off the MessageBox, the oTimer stop raising tick again.
The code looks like as following: 

static var oTimer: System.Windows.Forms.Timer;
static function TimerStart(){
   oTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
   oTimer.add_Tick( OnTimer );
   oTimer.Interval = 3000;
   oTimer.Start();
   MessageBox.Show( 'Timer Started: ' + oTimer.Interval.toString()  );
}

What the problem is it? What happened?
thx a lot!

Hi, Xu--

This seems like it should work just fine, but your description makes it sound like the timer is getting garbage collected. What code is in the Tick event handler?

Are you doing anything that would cause the script file to reload?

The Tick event in some way is complex, I can only descript it in few words is: if a specific object is exist, it tries to pop out an Url from a stack, then request the url. When the stack is empty, it raises to refill the stack. If the refilling end successful, pop and request an url again. Otherwise, end the all process.

I guess the problem should not be inside the Tick event, because I put a MessageBox at the beginning of the tick event, but it were not triggered.

And I can sure the script is not reloaded.

Where exactly in your script file did you put this code? Can you share your entire script with me?
