how to add a timer in C# code example
Example: timer c#
using System;
using System.Timers;
public class Example
{
private static System.Timers.Timer aTimer;
public static void Main()
{
SetTimer();
Console.WriteLine("\nPress the Enter key to exit the application...\n");
Console.WriteLine("The application started at {0:HH:mm:ss.fff}", DateTime.Now);
Console.ReadLine();
aTimer.Stop();
aTimer.Dispose();
Console.WriteLine("Terminating the application...");
}
private static void SetTimer()
{
// Create a timer with a two second interval.
aTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(2000);
// Hook up the Elapsed event for the timer.
aTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
aTimer.AutoReset = true;
aTimer.Enabled = true;
}
private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
Console.WriteLine("The Elapsed event was raised at {0:HH:mm:ss.fff}",
e.SignalTime);
}

// Press the Enter key to exit the application...

// The application started at 09:40:29.068
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:31.084
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:33.100
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:35.100
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:37.116
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:39.116
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:41.117
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:43.132
// The Elapsed event was raised at 09:40:45.133
