it's not like (you're not supposed to understand this)kind of thing , but today's generation of hand holding windows programmers truely lack any finesse when it comes to real programming that was done and still is under unix , this book wasn't done in windows dumbed down style , no , this book was written in a way to opens the readers eyes to the real art of programming .

There seems to be a similar problem with System.Windows.Forms.Timer not firing. I found if I called Stop() and Start() to frequently it would stop firing at all. Using System.Threading.Timer fixed the problem even though it is a forms based application

The funny thing is System.Timers.Timer uses System.Threading.Timer internally ( can be found through Reflector). So its a wrapper around Threading.Timer and microsoft tried to do some fancy things around the wrapper having some bugs in it. So its advised to use Threading.Timer.
