I always use system.threading.timer with good luck. I create a new timer
each time to head off a few issues (i.e. 49 day issue, and overlapped jobs).
public void DoIt()
{
Timer t = null;
t = new Timer(
delegate(object state)
{
t.Dispose(); // t is "captured", so we don't need to hold it
elsewhere.
// Run your stuff.
DoIt();
}, null, 1000, -1));
}
Looks like stack recursion, but is not as we start async timer and return.
We schedule a new timer each time and only after we run the work so we don't
have danger of overlapped jobs. However, the next job only starts after the
previous one is finished, so that could be more then 1 second. You can
wiggle the ms's as needed.
