How to Create Timer of Multithread Based Program on Console Application in C#

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:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading;

namespace Clock_MultiThreading
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Welcome to Timer Clock Multithread Program\t By Krishna Singh");
            Console.SetCursorPosition(03, 08);  //set the cursor position
            Console.Write("12 hour clock in ");  //set clock type 12hrs or 24hrs i set here 12 hrs clock
            Console.SetCursorPosition(20, 08);
            Console.WriteLine("hr:min:sec:M.Sec");
            Console.Beep();
            for (int hr = 0; hr <= 11; hr++)  // Apply  for loop for hour
            {
                for (int min = 0; min <= 59; min++)    // Apply  for loop for min
                {
                    for (int sec = 0; sec <= 59; sec++)  // Apply  for loop for sec
                    {
                        for (int Msec = 0; Msec < 99; Msec++)  // Apply  for loop for Msec
                        {
                            if (hr < 10)         //Apply if condition for hour
                            {
                                if (min < 10)      //Apply if condition for min
                                {
                                    if (sec < 10)    //Apply if condition for sec
                                    {
                                        Console.SetCursorPosition(18, 10);

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
