hi there ,

 private static void GetLids()
	    {
            var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(
              s => GetLidsFromSsd(),
              null,
              TimeSpan.Zero,
              TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));

	        MessageBox.Show(DateTime.Now.ToString());


	    }
	    private static void GetLidsFromSsd()
	    {
            EfLids.GetLidsFromApi();

set AutoReset to true and try again

HainKurt

or define timer as a public var and call timer.start after db call

var timer  System.Threading.Timer;
private static void GetLids()
	    {
              timer = new System.Threading.Timer(
              s => GetLidsFromSsd(),
              null,
              TimeSpan.Zero,
              TimeSpan.FromMinutes(1));
	    }

	    private static void GetLidsFromSsd()
	    {
            EfLids.GetLidsFromApi();
            timer.start();
	    }

Open in new window
