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(); } }
