There is no Timer in D as you know it from C# and also there are no events. You must rely on SetTimer WinAPI and write your own TimerProc.

Not sure what you mean, but I have a pretty solid Timer implementation
(Threaded)

The file has no dependencies, so copy it over and have fun. License of the whole application is GPLv3, but if you need it relicensed drop me an e-mail or notify me somehow

I have also created one. Please, see here: https://bitbucket.org/heromyth/dtoolkit/src/a8b5f8874e3d82373b71a2ca5c9f02a73362b56a/toolkit/System/Timer.d?at=default

It ported from http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/98346/Microsecond-and-Millisecond-NET-Timer

It's a common need. So maybe it's a good idea to put a version of that code in Phobos.

I asked a while ago on the main NG if I should make it phobos compatible, answer was no.
