Using timer control is very simple. To demonstrate this I am going to make an application in which 5 seconds after button click a message box will be displayed “Timer working”.

To use timer control drag and drop timer control from tool box to the form.

Coding 

Code at button click event.

privatevoid btnClick_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
//setting interval of timer to 5000 miliseconds.
//1000 miliseconds = 1 sec
//so 5000miliseconds = 5 sec.
            timer1.Interval = 5000;
//starting timer.
            timer1.Enabled = true;
        }
 
//code for timer tick event
        privatevoid timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
//displaying message box.
            MessageBox.Show("Timer Working");
//stoping timer.
            timer1.Enabled = false;            
        }
