Timer

[Jeremy Martin]

I have to following code:

System.Windows.Forms.Timer onCheckTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

            onCheckTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(checkOnTimer);

            Console.WriteLine("Startin TImer...");
            onCheckTimer.Interval = 1000;
            onCheckTimer.Start(); 

        static void checkOnTimer(Object myObject, EventArgs myEventArgs)
        {
            Console.WriteLine(DateTime.Now.ToString());
        } 

My question is does anyone know why the timer event never gets raised. I took it from the msdn documentation but can't seem to get it work work. The first part of the code is from a console app called and the function would be main.

If anyone has any insight then I would be exteremly greatfull.
