There are three different timer classes in C#:

All the MSDN help pages referenced above document usage of those timers quite clearly.

I would strongly advice:

Avoid using System.Windows.Forms.Timer; it simplest to use but is the most inaccurate. The other two types require to use the method Invoke or BeginInvoke of System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher (for both Forms or WPF) or System.Windows.Forms.Control (Forms only).
See:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.threading.dispatcher.aspx[^],
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.control.aspx[^].
Avoid using timers by all means; use threads whenever possible.
Avoid questions in the form "What's the difference between {0} and {1}"; they cannot be correct.
