Hi All,

I am using a timer with interval 50 miliseconds. But in the timer's tick event when I print the time it's always 62 or 65 ms. I don't understand why it's taking 10 ms more.

Please can some one have look into this.

Here is the code I am using.

static int _counter;
        System.Timers.Timer _timer = new System.Timers.Timer(1000);
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();           
            _timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(_timer_Elapsed);
            _timer.Start();            
        }

        void _timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString("{hh:mm:ss.fff}"));          
            _counter++;
            if (_counter == 20)
                _timer.Stop();            
        }

And this the output:

{01:59:08.381}
