Hi Faisal,

You can do that. It supports a calling method ashyonchrously.. you can call the method in tick event,.

ou're looking for Anonymous Methods:

myTimer.Tick += delegate (object sender, EventArgs e) {
MessageBox.Show("Hello world!");
};
You can also omit the parameters:

myTimer.Tick += delegate {
MessageBox.Show("Hello world!");
};
In C# 3.0, you can also use a Lambda Expression:

myTimer.Tick += (sender, e) => {
MessageBox.Show("Hello world!");
};

Normally the timer can be written like this.

myTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerEventProcessor);

// Sets the timer interval to 5 seconds.
myTimer.Interval = 5000;
myTimer.Start();

It will call the method every time based on the interval set.
