C# timer stop after some number of ticks automatically

Question

How to stop a timer after some numbers of ticks or after, let\'s say, 3-4 seconds?

So I start a timer and I want after 10 ticks or after 2-3 seconds to stop autom

When the timer's specified interval is reached (after 3 seconds), timer1_Tick() event handler will be called and you could stop the timer within the event handler.

Timer timer1 = new Timer();

timer1.Interval = 3000;

timer1.Enabled = true;

timer1.Tick += new System.EventHandler(timer1_Tick);


void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer1.Stop();  // or timer1.Enabled = false;
}
