Most of the winforms timer examples I have looked at declare static callbacks.
Is that irrelevant to the functionality of timers?
I removed the “static” modifier and things seem to be moving along just fine …
It’s irrelevant – the methods are just used to create delegates, really. If the callbacks need to use any state from the instance (e.g. to update a particular UI element), make them instance methods. If they don’t, it’s fine for them to be static. The timer won’t care either way.
