I have a messaging aspect of my application using Jabber-net (an XMPP library.)

What I would like to do, if for some reason the connection to the Server is ended, is keep trying to connect every minute or so.

If I start a Timer to wait for a period of time before the next attempt, does that timer run asynchronously and the resulting Tick event join the main thread, or would I need to start my own thread and start the timer from within there?
