Re: Timer

Do you need the form to be shown for each tick???

If no, try this code in your Main method.

static void Main()
{
Form1 f = new Form1();
f.Show();
Application.DoEvents(); // Refresh the form to be displayed.
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(300); // Block the main thread for 300
ms.
f.Close();
f.Dispose(true);
// If you want, run another form with a message loop.
Application.Run(new Form2);
}

Hope this helps.
