Using timer object in a Windows Service app

The service is installed, started etc, but no tick events are received. Is
this expected? Should I be using an alternative technique for regular data
processing?

Mr B,

There are three separate timers offered with .NET. Which is the one
that you are using?

Here's a handy hint for everybody. Form based timers don't work in Services.
Doh!

I switched to a lightweight thread timer. Works just fine now.
