Ok, so im creating an WPF app and i have a splash screen.

I'm putting a progress bar on the spash screen and a timer so the next windows shows when the timer ends.

But because visual studio 2012 doesn't have a timer tool i cannot do it.

Anyone have a way to do it?

There is not such thing as "timer in Visual Studio"... :-)
The question simply makes no sense. Showing a splash screen is not a problem at all, as well as setting timing for it; it has nothing to do with Visual Studio, which is nothing but IDE.

WPF uses DispatcherTimer.

C#

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,1);
dispatcherTimer.Start();


private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  //Timer code goes here
}

The question does not really make sense — please see my comment to the question.

Please see this CodeProject article, for example: Implement Splash Screen with WPF[^].

Solution 4

This doesn't make any sense.
Still you can use dispatcher timer or even Thread as well.
Apart from all this, an awesome article[^]..!!!
