Sorry, you are (partly) right, I was forgotten about On-Now capable boxes
(if not tuned off in the BIOS!).
But the System:Threadin g::Timer wraps the Waitable timer API's. This class
methods do call the internal CLR function 'InternalAddTim er' which calls the
CreateWaitableT imer and SetWaitableTime r Kernel32 API's.
So if you run something like this:
Timer* myWakeUpTimer =
new Timer(wakeUpDel egate, 0, 120000, -1);
Console::ReadLi ne();
And suspend the system, it will resume after the interval (60 sec.)

| And waitable timer is the Win32 API for setting up hardware timers. Not
