    <p>I'm curious as to why dispatcher timer doesn't work in console mode. I created a simple alarm that does something when the timer reaches it's limit. </p> <p>Can you use dispatcher timer with UnitTest or in Console mode? DailyAlarm works when I run it in a form.</p> <p>Here's my code to call the timer</p> <pre><code>[TestClass] public class UnitTest1 { bool runTest = true; [TestMethod] public void TestDailyAlarm() { DateTime alarmTime = new DateTime(); alarmTime= DateTime.Now; alarmTime = alarmTime.AddSeconds(5); // MessageBox.Show(alarmTime.ToString()); DailyAlarm alarm = new DailyAlarm(alarmTime); alarm.DailyAlarmEvent += alarm_DailyAlarmEvent; alarm.Start(); while (runTest) { System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000); } } void alarm_DailyAlarmEvent(EventArgs e) { MessageBox.Show("Alarm On"); runTest = false; } } </code></pre> <p>Here's my timer code </p> <pre><code>public class DailyAlarm { #region Timer DispatcherTimer timer; #endregion #region AlarmTime DateTime _alarmTime; #endregion #region Event public delegate void DailyAlarmHandler(EventArgs e); public event DailyAlarmHandler DailyAlarmEvent; #endregion public DailyAlarm(System.DateTime alarmTime) { if (alarmTime &lt; DateTime.Now) { alarmTime = alarmTime.AddDays(1); } _alarmTime = alarmTime; TimeSpan timeRemaining = alarmTime.Subtract(DateTime.Now); timer = new DispatcherTimer(); timer.Tick += AlarmEvent; timer.Interval = timeRemaining; } public void Start() { timer.Start(); } private void AlarmEvent(object sender, EventArgs e) { DailyAlarmEvent(null); // Calculate next Alarm _alarmTime = _alarmTime.AddDays(1); TimeSpan timeRemaining = _alarmTime.Subtract(DateTime.Now); Utilities.DispatcherTimer_ChangeInterval(ref timer, timeRemaining); } public void Stop() { if (timer != null) timer.Stop(); } } </code></pre>

    1. COHow do you expect `DispatcherTimer` to work without a `Dispatcher`? Just use another of the available `Timer`s.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
