I assume you mean the Timer.Start method in the
System.Timers.Timerclass, and the answer is no,Elapseddoesn’t get fired until the first interval actually elapses.Note: If by
Autostartyou actually meanAutoReset, then that property automatically stops the timer after the firstElapsedevent is fired. It has no direct effect on what theStartmethod does.
