Timer does not work when used in a windows service

[Alex_bg]

Hello,

 

Is there any special reason, a timer not to work when used in a windows service application?

 

I am using a VB .NET, below is the code of the OnStart method.

 

Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)

Me.Timer1.Interval = 1000

Me.Timer1.Enabled = True

End Sub

 

If you need any more info, please do not hesitate to ask.

 

Thanks,

Aleksandar

Maybe i'm being very nitpicking but what timer do you use?

There are three versions:

System.Timers.Timer

System.Threading.Timer

System.Windows.Forms.Timer

 

If you're using a System.Windows.Forms.Timer it could be that a windows service application usually doesnt have a UI so there might be something regarding forms that prevent it from working correctly.

Thank you very much, this solved my problem. I changed the timer version and it started working.
