Question

I am working on Windows Forms application. I have a windows form in which a label is set visible to false by default. I want to set property visible to true for 10 seconds and then after to false. I have dragged the timer control and set the interval to 1000 miliseconds, that is, 1 second, and I have written the code in form load event:

    timer1.Start();
    if (timer1.Interval == 5000)
    {            
        timer1.Stop();
    }

But it is not setting the label visible to false. Why?

In which event do I have to fire this code so that when the timer starts and when will it be 5 seconds and then the label will be set to false? Is that possible in C#?

Check the below code.

    private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        timer1.Interval = 10000;
        timer1.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer1_Tick);
        label1.Visible = true;
        timer1.Start();
    }


    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        timer1.Stop(); //If timer is not stopped, timer1_Tick event will be called for every 10 seconds
        label1.Visible = false;
    }
