Hello,

There are a number of Timer classes within the .NET framework. Am not very
clear as to which component can be used, there is System.Timers.Timer,
System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Threading.Timer for example.....any help
will be appreciated as to which component is better for use in some cases,
more than others.

Thank you,
Marise
 
Marise,

Which timer to use depends on the functionality you implement. Please refer
to the article in Visual Studio help:
ms-help://MS.VSCC.2003/MS.MSDNQTR.2003FEB.1033/vbcon/html/vbconServerBasedTi
mers.htm

It describes the differences and typical usage for these classes.
