    Resolved [RESOLVED] Ridiculously stupid Timer question ...

    I posted this once already, and it never showed o_O

    Long story short, I haven't been able to program anything for over a year, and now I can't remember a lot of 'simple' things - I need to make a Timer event fire every 45 minutes, and I can't for the life of me remember how to do it! :-(

    The Interval property of a Timer is measured in milliseconds, so it's simple maths to convert a number of minutes to a number of milliseconds. Call Start or set Enabled to True and handle the Tick event.
