So what you have created here is:
- a main thread launching a repetitive timer;
- a timer executing "something" on another thread (which happens to be an arbitrary ThreadPool thread);
- as your Run() method takes longer than your timer's interval, two ThreadPool threads are likely to be executing the Run() method in an overlapping way, i.e. a second will start before the first has finished.

No, whatever goes wrong in Run() stays in there. The threadpool thread will survive but not report anything.
Unless (I'm not sure, haven't done this for a while) you set a handler to Application.ThreadException; but then that handler will possibly catch a lot, and your app will in general have a hard time to somehow recover from whatever went wrong.

Here is an alternative that may or may not fit your needs: have a look at BackGroundWorker; this basically is a thread that executes your work; when everything is done, it fires its RunWorkerCompleted event, which (1) runs on the main thread (assuming you created the BGW on the main thread), so you can touch GUI Controls freely from there; and (2) has an Error parameter that holds any uncaught exception that may have occured in (and terminated execution of) the DoWork handler. This way, the exception is there, when you want it, and close to what has caused it.

I'm not participating in frackin' Q&A, so if you want my opinion, ask away in a real forum (or on my profile page).
