NewUser,
In addition to the other comments (especially Tom's about the
SynchronizingObject property).

The following article in MSDN Magazine explains the difference between the
three timer objects in .NET & when to use each.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/04/02/TimersinNET/default.aspx

The above article also discusses if & how each timer interacts with
threading.

Hope this helps
Jay
