Application Idle Description

The Application Idle application was developed to be a small utility that uses class that alerts your code when the application is idle. If you've ever written a GUI (WinForms) application and wanted to periodically run a background process (such as poll a database), or need to log off the user or close a connection after a certain amount of inactivity, this class may be for you.I created this class so my application could occasionally check the database for updated records (by other users). I didn't want to run the check while the user was busy entering data, and I certainly didn't want to hit the database in the middle of some transactional save and risk blocking or even deadlocking the operation. So I needed to know when both the user and the CPU were idle. I also wanted to know when the application became idle, and also wanted periodic updates while the application remained idle.
