Timers, GC

[penagate]

Does a timer event maintained by an object keep firing during the period in between the object going out of scope and being gabage collected?

I should clarify: By 'timer' I am referring to System.Threading.Timer, not another of the plethora of timer classes.

I have one class-level field that holds a reference to this timer. However, what I'm seeing in the debug log suggests to me that three events are firing at once, which seems impossible unless there exist three System.Threading.Timer objects. If that were the case, two of them must be awaiting garbage collection, and I must not have disposed of them correctly. I would like clarification of whether that is possible or not, though.

No, thank you. Brilliant post. Solved my problem in one go.
