Question

    public void InitTimer()
    {
        timer1 = new Timer();
        timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);
        timer1.Interval = 200; // in milliseconds
        timer1.Start();
    }

    private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("test");
    }

Using that code from How can I raise an event every hour (or specific time interval each hour) in .NET?

I’m VERY new to C#, but I’m not sure what’s wrong. I’m trying to display a messagebox in this example every 2 seconds. There are no errors, the messagebox simply does not show.

You forgot to call the function in your load.
