Windows Service with timer

SMG
Hi there,
I created a windows service.

I want that service to make a call to msmq after each 15 minutes.

Where do I place the timer, and how, (timing should be configurable from
outside the service)

Is there any way, i can say my service.sleep(15 minutes)

Thanks,
Shailesh

Just create an instance of System.Timers.Timer class in your cod. Decide on
the external source of configuration data (registry? file? database?) and
get the service to read that source. Nothing special.

Note, that the question is not related to ASP.NET. If you need more details,
post to appropriate newsgroups.
