Where is timer in a Windows store app?

Question

I could not find the Timer when developing a Windows Store App in c#. What is the alternative /new name/way of use of it?

Answer 1

DispatcherTimer is what you are looking for

var timer = new DispatcherTimer();
timer.Tick += DispatcherTimerEventHandler;
timer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,0,1);
timer.Start();

Answer 2

Different timers for different needs. Roughly...

DispatcherTimer - When you want work to be executed on the UI thread.

ThreadPoolTimer - When you want work to be executed on a background thread.
