Question

Currently I’m moving from java to c# and I’m full of crazy questions.
I’m trying new things on a windows form application and now,I would like to create a loop wich is executing a code every 1 minute,the problem is that I have no idea where to put this code.
For example,the form structure is like:

using System;

namespace Tray_Icon
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            notifyIcon1.ShowBalloonTip(5000);


        }

        private void notifyIcon1_BalloonTipClicked(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = "Baloon clicked!";
        }

        private void notifyIcon1_BalloonTipClosed(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = "baloon closed!";
        }

        private void contextMenuStrip1_Opening(object sender, CancelEventArgs e)
        {

        }

        private void option1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //some code here
        }

        private void option2ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //some code here
        }

        private void option3ToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            label1.Text = "Option 3 clicked!";
        }

        private void notifyIcon1_MouseDoubleClick(object sender, MouseEventArgs e)
        {
            option1ToolStripMenuItem_Click(this, null);
        }

        private void closeToolStripMenuItem_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Close();
        }

        private void btnWrite_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
//code here

        }
    }
}

Where should I put the loop code? 🙁

Thanks in advance for ANY replay!!!

Add a Timer to your form:

set its Interval property to 60000 (one minute in milliseconds) and Enabled to True:

and attach an event handler to the Timer.Tick event, e.g. by double-clicking the timer in the Forms designer:

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // do something here. It will be executed every 60 seconds
}
