How to fire timer.Elapsed event immediately

Question

I\'m using the System.Timers.Timer class to create a timer with an Timer.Elapsed event. The thing is the Timer.Elapsed event is fired

Answer 1

not sure about System.Timers.Timer but try

System.Threading.Timer T = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(DoSomething), null, 0, 30000);

This starts immediately (0 milliseconds for first run, 30000 milliseconds for subsequents runs)...
