Hi Experts,

    I want to start a timer and when the timer is done I want to execute an operation but I want the operation to happen on a thread different from any other thread (including UI).  Here (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.windows.forms.timer(v=vs.90).aspx) it states that the Timer class' Tick event executes on the UI thread.  Is there a Timer under .NET Compact Framework 3.5 whose Tick event gets fired on another thread?

Thanks!

Multithreaded Timer under .NET Compact Framework 3.5

Smartphones run using a variety of operating systems -- Android, iOS and Windows Mobile most commonly -- and an even wider variety of programming languages, including Objective-C, Java, Visual C#, C++ and .NET, not to mention HTML5 and JavaScript, and cross-platform frameworks such as PhoneGap.

Smartphone Programming

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).

The .NET Framework is not specific to any one programming language; rather, it includes a library of functions that allows developers to rapidly build applications. Several supported languages include C#, VB.NET, C++ or ASP.NET.
