C# Timer and memory leak

Question

I am creating a program that will check for directory listing every 2 seconds. I expect this program to run for months without leaking memory or requiring any human interaction.

Answer 1

1. No, there is no memory leak, that is the expected behavior of a program in a langauge that uses a garbage collector. The memory will increase until eventually it hits a point where the Garbage Collector cleans up any unneeded objects.

2. It's a place to specify the timer's interval. You're overwriting it later on, so this is accomplishing nothing.
