Automatically send messages every 1 second-CodePudding

internal class Program2

        Console.WriteLine("String console app");
        var senderObject = MessageActivator.GetSenderObject();

        Parser.Default.ParseArguments<MessageOptions>(args).WithParsed(opts1 =>
         {
             opts = (MessageOptions)opts1;

         });

        senderObject.SendMessage(new SyslogMessageOptions()
        {
            SyslogServerHost = opts.SyslogServerHost,
            SyslogServerPort = opts.SyslogServerPort,
            ApplicationName = opts.ApplicationName,
            ProccessorId = opts.ProccessorId,
            MessageId = opts.MessageId,
            Facility = opts.Facility,
            Severity = opts.Severity,
            NetworkProtocols = (SyslogTesterLib.NetworkProtocol)opts.NetworkProtocols,
            MessageFormat = (SyslogTesterLib.SyslogMessageFormat)opts.MessageFormat,
            Message = opts.Message,
            ShouldPrintMessage = opts.ShouldPrintMessage,
            LocalHostName = opts.LocalHostName,
            StructuredData = opts.StructuredData,
            Date = opts.Date,


        }, new BulkMessageOptions()
        {
            TotalNMessageOptions = new TotalNMessageOptions() { TotalMessages=opts.TotalNMessageCount},
            BulkMessageSendType = BulkMessageSendType.OncePerSecond,

        });
        Console.WriteLine("Press any key to close.");
        Console.ReadKey();

        return 0;
    }
}

}

Here I am sending a syslog bulk message with various options.

What I wanted to know is, is it possible for it to automatically send every 1 second. If yes, how can I possibly do that?

There's the codes, in case if it brings of any help.

See the Interval property of Timer object.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.timers.timer.interval?view=net-6.0

Just set your interval and assign your callback to the elapsed event

Parser.Default.ParseArguments<MessageOptions>(args).WithParsed(opts1 =>

    opts = (MessageOptions)opts1;

timer.Elapsed  = (sender, e) =>
