_timerPort.Post(DateTime.Now);
Activate(Arbiter.Receive(true, _timerPort, TimerHandler));
Is there a way to stop/suspend the Arbiter to handle the _timerPort (and the Timerhandler) ?
Thank you!
Alberto
Here's a way to do it:
private Port<DateTime> _timerPort = new Port<DateTime>(); protected { Activate(Arbiter.Receive(false, _timerPort, TimerHandler)); _timerPort.Post(DateTime.Now); } void { Activate( // do something here... Activate( { _timerPort.Post(time); } ) ); } void { _timerPort.Post( } Code Snippet
Notice the persist parameter in the first activation (inside Start method) is false and the TimerHandler checks on each call whether to activate it again or not.
You can also define the timer port as a PortSet like this:
And then use an Arbiter.Choice to activate the timer or stop the timer (by not activating it again) when a ShutDown message is received. Code Snippet private PortSet<DateTime, Shutdown> _timerPort = new Port<DateTime, Shutdown>();
