如何在ViewModel中正确地使用Timer（定时器）

内容摘要：

这是我在某个客户那边讲课的时候遇到一个小问题，在ViewModel中创建的一个Timer，并不会被自动停止，即便使用该ViewModel的View已经被关闭了。这个问题的原因在于Timer的特殊工作机制，它是运行在一个独立的工作线程的，除非明确地停止他，或者整个程序关闭了，它才会停止。这一讲中，我通过实例重现了这个问题，然后提供了一个可行的解决方法。

备注：该范例使用了MvvmLight作为MVVM框架，请自行安装

Model：

 

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;

namespace SilverlightApplicationSample
{
    public class DataService
    {
        public static Customer[] GetCustomers()
        {

            Debug.WriteLine(string.Format("[{0}]正在调用数据服务",DateTime.Now));

            var rnd = new Random();
            return Enumerable.Range(1, rnd.Next(100)).Select(x => new Customer()
            {
                CompanyName = "Company " + x.ToString()
            }).ToArray();

        }
    }

    public class Customer
    {
        public string CompanyName { get; set; }
    }
}

ViewModel：

using System;
using System.Windows.Threading;
using GalaSoft.MvvmLight;

namespace SilverlightApplicationSample
{
    /// <summary>
    /// 使用MVVMLight实现的MVVM ViewModel
    /// </summary>
    public class CustomerWindowViewModel : ViewModelBase
    {
        /// <summary>
        /// 这个方法也不会自动调用
        /// </summary>
        public override void Cleanup()
        {
            base.Cleanup();

            timer.Stop();
        }

 

        DispatcherTimer timer = null;

        public CustomerWindowViewModel()
        {
            //正常情况下的绑定
            //Customers = DataService.GetCustomers();


            //使用定时器调用服务
            timer = new DispatcherTimer();

            timer.Interval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
            timer.Tick += (o, a) =>
            {
                Customers = DataService.GetCustomers();
            };

            timer.Start();
        }

        private Customer[] _Customers;
        public Customer[] Customers
        {
            get { return _Customers; }
            set
            {
                if (_Customers != value)
                {
                    _Customers = value;
                    RaisePropertyChanged("Customers");
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
