[VB.NET] MinuteTimer [Timer from ms to minutes] - BETAhkr - Aug 7, 2009

A minute timer is a timer that allows you to have the interval in
minutes instead of milliseconds.
Such as.

Code
Timer1.Interval = 60000 ' 1 Minute
is now
Code
MinuteTimer1.Interval = 1 ' 1 Minute

Enter this code into your project
in a new class.
Code
Public Class MinuteTimer
    Inherits System.Windows.Forms.Timer

    Private _Minutes As Integer = 0

    Public Shadows Property Interval() As Integer
        Get
            Return _Minutes
        End Get
        Set(ByVal value As Integer)
            If value < 0 Then value = 0
            _Minutes = value
            Try
                MyBase.Interval = _Minutes * 60000
            Catch : Throw
            End Try
        End Set
    End Property

End Class

Coding them MinuteTimer1 is the same as a real timer,
Except the Milliseconds to Minutes and instead of
just Timer1 It's MinuteTimer1.

Code
MinuteTimer1.Interval = 5 ' 5 Minutes

Hey, this is good. First time i've ever seen someone post a component here. keep 'em coming.

Thanks for the good feedback.
As I said above, This is a great component for using long timed timers
in projects that don't want to do functions every 2 minutes or less.
or trying to figure out your milliseconds and looping it to be more than 65000ms.

Yeah, There are a bunch of things people can do in vb2008 that people don't know
don't use or don't learn, and to be honest, A lot of them are pretty cool.
