Comparing the Timer Classes in the .NET Framework Class Library

An interesting article by Alex Calvo on MSDN Magazine shows the differences between the different Timers classes in the .NET Framework. The .NET Framework Class Library provides three different timer classes: System.Windows.Forms.Timer, System.Timers.Timer, and System.Threading.Timer. Each of these classes has been designed and optimized for use in different situations. This article examines the three timer classes and helps you gain an understanding of how and when each class should be used.
