This compiles in C# (to set a timer calling MyMethod every 5 minutes)

var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(
    e => MyMethod(),  
    null, 
    TimeSpan.Zero, 
    TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));

ILSpy translates that to:

Timer{dueTime: TimeSpan.Zero, period: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5.0), Callback: { =>Self:MyMethod()	}, state: null}
	Close()

This gives the following compiler eror:

Error XS9002 Parser: unexpected input '{'

1 What is wrong?
2 I I assume it needs to be fixed in the ILSpy plugin?

Hi Dick,

Indeed, that's not the correct translation. In X# syntax, the equivalent is:

VAR timer := System.Threading.Timer{;
    MyMethod,;
    NULL,;
    TimeSpan.Zero,;
    TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5)}

and of course you also need to have a method (or function) defined that will be called when the timer ticks:

METHOD MyMethod(state AS OBJECT) AS VOID

.
