Fire timer_elapsed immediately from OnStart in windows service

Question

I\'m using a System.Timers.Timer and I\'ve got code like the following in my OnStart method in a c# windows service.

timer = new Timer(         


        

Answer 1

Use AutoReset Property of System.Timers.Timer and set it value to "true". No need to use timer.Start() because it does the same job as timer.Enabled = true;

timer = new Timer();
timer.Elapsed += timer_Elapsed;
timer.Enabled = true;
timer.Interval = 3600000;
timer.AutoReset = true;

AutoReset = true will set a value indicating that the Timer should raise the Elapsed event each time when the specified interval elapses.
