Presumably Microsoft thought that putting the System.Windows.Forms.Timer on the Windows Forms Toolbox would be enough of a clue that you were supposed to use that one for Windows Forms applications.
I guess most VB developers will look there first, since they've always dragged timers off a tool box onto the form. But not everyone starts from that angle of course... -- Ian Griffiths DevelopMentor ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeff Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Chris, Until today, I did not even know that System.Windows.Forms.Timer existed. I needed a timer, so I looked in System and saw System.Timer. I assumed that was the class to use for a timer. How many other people will fall into this trap ? The other bitch I have is that the System.Windows.Forms.Timer class has an event called Tick and the System.Timer has an event called Elapsed, these events should be called by the same name! thank you for all of your help, I would have had to open an incident with Microsoft without it ! jeff You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
