Hi MAY,

There are at least three timers to choose from, but the most common one is System.Windows.Forms.Timer.

using System.Windows.Forms;

public class MyClass
{
Timer myTimer;
public MyClass() // constructor
{
myTimer = new Timer();
myTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(MyTickEvent);
myTimer.Interval = 100; // interval in ms
myTimer.Start();
}

private void MyTickEvent(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// code to execute for each tick
}
}

Happy coding!
