Timer interval in VB.NET

OK, a similar question was asked a while back on this thread(http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Forums/Thread/139394/trigging-function-at-a-time-for-everyday.aspx) and I'd try and follow what I suggested there though it will be rather messy here as you have two time intervals to deal with.

However, before you can do that, you'll need to read the setting and then parse it into its constituents. The code to do that will be something like this:

Dim pollBetweenTime As String = My.Settings.PollBetweenTime

Dim intervals As String() = pollBetweenTime.Split(";"c)

Dim subIntervals As String() = intervals(0).Split("-"c) 

Dim startDate1 As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(subIntervals(0))

Dim endDate1 As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(subIntervals(1))

subIntervals = intervals(1).Split("-"c) 

Dim startDate2 As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(subIntervals(0))

Dim endDate2 As DateTime = DateTime.Parse(subIntervals(1))

Well, you should be able to set the timer's Interval property like this, assuming the setting value is already in milliseconds:

   Timer1.Interval = Int32.Parse(My.Settings.PollInterval)

Can you explain what the PollBetweenTime setting represents as it is not immediately clear to me.
