Timer tick event is not called in windows service

Question

Answer 1

I think System.Timers.Timer is a better choice :

Timer _timer = new Timer();
// In miliseconds 60000 = 1 minute
// This timer will tick every 1 minute
_timer.Interval += 6000;
// Activate the timer
_timer.Enabled = true;
// When timer "tick"
_timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
