# Timer Control in VB.Net

## The Timer Control in VB.Net

Where A [Timer control](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/284/ajax-toolkit-timer-control-in-asp-dot-net) allows you to set a time interval to [execute](https://www.mindstick.com/interview/49/how-can-i-execute-a-php-script-using-command-line) an event after some interval continuously.

This is very [useful](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12694/how-dolomite-mineral-is-useful-in-human-life) when you want to execute certain [applications](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/12847/how-to-choose-the-right-ethernet-cable-for-industrial-applications) after a certain interval.

[Drag and drop](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/454/how-to-drag-and-drop-multiple-image-from-one-canvas-to-onther-canvas-in-html5) Timer control from the toolbox on the [window Form](https://www.mindstick.com/forum/527/how-to-pass-datagridview-s-cells-value-to-another-window-form).

### Code:

```
Public Class Form22 ' set Interval in Timer     Private Sub Form22_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)  Handles MyBase.Load         ' after 1000 milisecond time will update         Timer1.Interval = 1000     End Sub       Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs)  Handles Timer1.Tick         'current time will update coontinuesly         Label1.Text = Now.ToLongTimeString.ToString()     End SubEnd Class
```

### Run the project

Time will [update](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/83443/g7-summit-update) continuously after every 1000 millisecond.
