    I agree - you definitely don't want to "busy wait". There are a number of timers in the .NET Framework depending on your needs. Given that I don't know your application requirements, you'll have to look at the classes and determine which one is most appropriate:

    System.Timers.Timer
    System.Threading.Timer
    System.Windows.Forms.Timer

    This discussion (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/library/tb9yt5e6(en-us,vs.80).aspx) should help you in making your decision.
