This is a Windows application using C#. I want to capture a screen shot with a timer. The timer is set to a 5000 ms interval. As the timer is started, the desktop screen should be captured with the source window caption.

try
{
    System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
    timer.Tick += new EventHandler(timer2_Tick);
    timer.Interval = (100) * (50);
    timer.Enabled = true;
    timer.Start();

    ScreenShots sc = new ScreenShots();
    sc.pictureBox1.Image = system_serveillance.CaptureScreen.GetDesktopImage();

    while(sc.pictureBox1.Image != null)
    {
        sc.pictureBox1.Image.Save("s"+".jpg", System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
        sc.pictureBox1.Image = null;
    }

This code is not working properly. How can I make it work?
