Timers, timers, timers

Oh joy.

Let me explain what I've been battling with for easily the better part of a whole day.

I have a windows service that I want to wake up and process at a certain interval, so I dragged a timer control onto the designer and merrily set properties and compiled and when testing, nothing happens.

I noticed that the "elapsed" event was replaced with "tick", but I assumed that was a new .NET 2 change and thought it was the same kinda thing.

Anyways...  After much annoying debugging, and failed debugging, I eventually went through an older existing project that I knew worked... and guess what:

System.Windows.Forms.Timer is NOT the same as System.Timers.Timer

Obviously there is no form in a windows service, so I was using the wrong timer control.  (The System.Timers.Timer control was not enabled in my toolbox, so I just took the one that was there.)

What a mission.
