There are three Timer classes that I am aware of, System.Threading.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Windows.Forms.Timer, but none of these have a .Reset() function which would reset the current elapsed time to 0.

Is there a BCL class that has this functionality? Is there a non-hack way of doing it? (I thought perhaps changing the time limit on it might reset it) Thought on how hard it would be to reimplement a Timer class that had this functionality, or how to do it reliably with one of the BCL classes?

    I always do …

    myTimer.Stop();
myTimer.Start();

    … is that a hack? 🙂

    Per comment, on Threading.Timer, it’s the Change method …

    dueTime Type: System.Int32 The
    amount of time to delay before the
    invoking the callback method specified
    when the Timer was constructed, in
    milliseconds. Specify
    Timeout.Infinite to prevent the
    timer from restarting. Specify zero
    (0) to restart the timer immediately.
