DaTurk,

What you want is the Timer class in the System.Timers class.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I'm creating an application that will need to use a timer to do a
static method call every second. My question, is what would be the
best timer to use? I know there are several, but I'd like to use a
timer that is probably the most reliable, and hopefully designed with
high performance in mind. Thank you in advance.
