  I see no reason to use the form designer to create a timer, seeing as it does not appear on the form.  In order to create a timer, you need to add a method to it's Tick event, set it's interval, and call it's start method.  The method has the signature:
  
  

  private void methodname(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  
  i.e. the most basic method signature there is.
  
  In a nutshell:
  
  private Timer timer = new Timer();
  
  private void Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
  {
  
  }
  
  and in the constructor:
  
  timer = new Timer();
  

  timer.Interval = 100;

  timer.Tick += new EventHandler(Tick);

  timer.Start();
  
  after your call to InitializeComponents.
  
  Oh - if you must use the IDE to autogenerate your code, you can just double click on the timer, and you'll be taken to the code for the tick event.

  So you need to handle the Tick event of a System.Windows.Forms.Timer in C# under VS.NET 2003
  
  Select the control in the designer (in the tray under the form). Go to properties and click on the lightning bolt. Now select the Tick event and double click there.

  So you are actually using VS2005...
  
  To use the netcfv1.0 in VS2005 you must have the .net framework v1.1 installed...
