Not inside the Tick event of the timer. When you are ready to Start the timer, you just use the start method. myTimer.Start(), inversly myTimer.Stop() will stop your timer. Secondly, you put any code inside the Tick event of the timer that you want to execute when the amount of time has passed that the timer is set for.
