I want to use a timer in my simple .NET application written in C#. The only one I can find is the Windows.Forms.Timer class. I don’t want to reference this namespace just for my console application.
Is there a C# timer (or timer like) class for use in console applications?
System.Timers.Timer
And as MagicKat says:
System.Threading.Timer
You can see the differences here: http://intellitect.com/system-windows-forms-timer-vs-system-threading-timer-vs-system-timers-timer/
And you can see MSDN examples here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.timers.timer(VS.80).aspx
