Windows.forms.timers vs system.timers.timer visual studio 2008
Hello experts, I have a windows form application developed with visual studio 2008. It is a multithreaded application and I have some timers that do some heavier processing every 3 seconds. My question is, what type of timer objects should I use the System timers or Windows timers? What is the difference and which one is better for performance?
