Timer control stops for background processing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by ManishM Microsoft Employee

I am trying to build an experience where if the data does not load in, say 15 seconds, the user is notified to refresh their browser page. For this, I used Timer control. However, when the data is being read and rolled-up in the background, the timer stops and sometimes increments by 1 second in 3-4 seconds.

 

Is this an expected behavior for the Timer control?

 

thanks,

Manish

    the only suggestion i have is:

     

    timer.AutoPause = false

    Auto pause is used for timer to pause when user clicks away from the screen it is on. My timer is on the same page as the code to pull data and calculate roll-ups  which is in OnVisible. So no, that is not my issue. I do not want the timer to stop but it does pause to allow for code processing and then intermittently increments the seconds.
