How to use timer control in C#?

Hi,

How to use timer control in C#?

Any example please? Thanks

Re: How to use timer control in C#?

1. Have the timer control in your application or have a variable of type Timer.
2. Assign a event to the Timer tick event.
3. Enable the timer and start when you think you need the event.
4. After sufficient time elapse your function will be called.

I managed before you said above but thanks Shabbir. I did above now how to show current system time on the form at some specific position. Following is some sample of code I have

Code:

public Form1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();



            // Instantiate the timer

            timer1 = new Timer();



            // Setup timer

            timer1.Interval = 1000; //1000ms = 1sec

            timer1.Tick += new EventHandler(timer1_Tick);

            timer1.Start();

          

        }

Code:

 private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            if (sender == timer1)

            {

                DateTime.Now.ToLongDateString();

            }

        }
