Syntax

public interface IActionScheduler : IRunnableScheduler

Methods

ScheduleOnce(TimeSpan, Action)

Schedules an action to be invoked after a delay. The action is wrapped so that it completes inside the currently active actor if it is called from within an actor. Note! It's considered bad practice to use concurrency inside actors, and very easy to get wrong so usage is discouraged.

Declaration

void ScheduleOnce(TimeSpan delay, Action action)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	delay	The time period that has to pass before the action is invoked.
Action	action	The action that is being scheduled.

ScheduleOnce(TimeSpan, Action, ICancelable)

Schedules an action to be invoked after a delay. The action is wrapped so that it completes inside the currently active actor if it is called from within an actor. Note! It's considered bad practice to use concurrency inside actors, and very easy to get wrong so usage is discouraged.

Declaration

void ScheduleOnce(TimeSpan delay, Action action, ICancelable cancelable)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	delay	The time period that has to pass before the action is invoked.
Action	action	The action that is being scheduled.
ICancelable	cancelable	A cancelable used to cancel the action from being executed.

ScheduleRepeatedly(TimeSpan, TimeSpan, Action)

Schedules an action to be invoked after an initial delay and then repeatedly. The action is wrapped so that it completes inside the currently active actor if it is called from within an actor. Note! It's considered bad practice to use concurrency inside actors, and very easy to get wrong so usage is discouraged.

Declaration

void ScheduleRepeatedly(TimeSpan initialDelay, TimeSpan interval, Action action)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	initialDelay	The time period that has to pass before first invocation of the action.
TimeSpan	interval	The time period that has to pass between each invocation of the action.
Action	action	The action that is being scheduled.

ScheduleRepeatedly(TimeSpan, TimeSpan, Action, ICancelable)

Schedules an action to be invoked after an initial delay and then repeatedly. The action is wrapped so that it completes inside the currently active actor if it is called from within an actor. Note! It's considered bad practice to use concurrency inside actors, and very easy to get wrong so usage is discouraged.

Declaration

void ScheduleRepeatedly(TimeSpan initialDelay, TimeSpan interval, Action action, ICancelable cancelable)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
TimeSpan	initialDelay	The time period that has to pass before first invocation of the action.
TimeSpan	interval	The time period that has to pass between each invocation of the action.
Action	action	The action that is being scheduled.
ICancelable	cancelable	A cancelable used to cancel the action from being executed.
