Get/Set props of server based timer?

[Shurijo]

I have an app that runs as a Windows Service and in my OnStart event, I create a server base timer. I have it working right and the ElapsedEventHandler works fine, too.

'Create new Server based Timer
Dim oSettings As New Settings()
oSettings = New Settings()
Dim myTimer As New System.Timers.Timer()
AddHandler myTimer.Elapsed, _
        New System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(AddressOf Me.myTimer_Elapsed)
myTimer.Enabled = True
myTimer.Interval = oSettings.Interval

My question is.... Once I create the timer in my onStart event, how do I change the Interval or test to see if the timer is enabled in other code? Just the basic get/set properties & methods. I just don't know how to reference the timer object that I created on the fly. (oSettings is my class for my global app vars)

thanks,

I think I figured it out. I just move the line that I am creating the instance to the top section where I declare my class stuff.

Public Class myClass
...
Private myTimer As New System.Timers.Timer(2000)
...
