[image: MailTag] I have a DLL that handles major timer issues (can't remember where I originally acquired it) that are not form constrained. Shut down tasks being chief among those. I've used timers on forms with no real issues that I've noticed. I do have a check that makes sure that I'm not running in debug mode tho.

Point in question is knowing what time it is now. When you start the timer it just keeps running till you turn it off. If you want to know if 10 min has transpired then it is still running for that 10 min.

Well that's why you have to be smart about it, Stephen, and only call it every X minutes. In my case, anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Resources have shown it to be not even noticeable, at least in terms of memory.
