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 System.Threading.Timer class instead of System.Timers.Timer as this type is just a wrapper for Threading Timer.

It also suits your requirement.

 System.Threading.Timer timer =
                new System.Threading.Timer(this.DoWork, this, 0, 36000);

Here are the details.
