Looks good, aside from the fact that OnTick doesn't follow the typical event invocation model. Typically, On[EventName] raises the event a single time, like

}

Consider creating this method, and renaming your existing "OnTick" method to "StartTick", and instead of invoking Tick directly from StartTick, call OnTick(EventArgs.Empty) from the StartTick method.
