Timers

Reliable Actor timers are modelled on timers available in the system.Timers namespace. The timers are usually used to carry out routine operations in the lifetime of an Actor, for example processing input data at a certain rate. You can declare and register a timer in your application using the following code, usually in the OnActivateAsync method:

private IActorTimer _updateTimer; protected override Task OnActivateAsync()     {         ...          _updateTimer = RegisterTimer(             CallBackMethod,                     // Callback method             ObjectParameter,                   // Parameter to pass to                                                   the callback method             TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(15),  // Amount of time to delay                                                before the callback is                                                invoked             TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(15)); // Time interval between                                                invocations of the  callback ...
