Question: Timer available for console application?

[VB Programmer]

I'm creating a console application. Can I use a timer control to do
something every 5 seconds?

VB Programmer,
Remember there are 3 different Timer objects in .NET.

For a console application I would not use the System.Windows.Forms.Timer
class, as this class is based on Forms, which means you need to get
Application.Run involved.

I would recommend using either System.Threading.Timer class or the
System.Timers.Timer class. Be sure to read about both as they use multiple
threads to handle the event.

Hope this helps
Jay
