Signal​Notifier Signal​Notifier Signal​Notifier Class

Definition

Runs a method when an event or semaphore is signaled. A timeout value can also be specified, causing the delegate to run after the time span has elapsed if the named event does not occur (or if the semaphore does not reach a signaled state).

Note

The ThreadPool API is supported for desktop as well as Windows Store apps.

Methods

AttachToEvent(String, SignalHandler) AttachToEvent(String, SignalHandler) AttachToEvent(String, SignalHandler)

Edit

Attaches a SignalHandler delegate to an event. The delegated method will run the next time the event occurs.

Parameters
name

Indicates the event that causes the method to run.

handler
SignalHandler SignalHandler SignalHandler

Indicates the method that will run in response to the event.

Returns
SignalNotifier SignalNotifier SignalNotifier

The resulting SignalNotifier object.

Edit

Attaches a SignalHandler delegate to an event. The delegated method will run if the event occurs or the time span elapses, whichever comes first.

Parameters
name
System.String System.String System.String

Indicates the event that causes the method to run.

handler
SignalHandler SignalHandler SignalHandler

Indicates the method that will run in response to the event, or when the time span elapses, whichever comes first.

Parameters
name
System.String System.String System.String

Names the semaphore that signals the method to run.

handler
SignalHandler SignalHandler SignalHandler

Indicates the delegate that will run in response to the named semaphore entering the signaled state.

Returns
