How to access a form-control from System.Timers.Timer (cross thread problem)

Question

I use the system.timers.timer for my service.

Now I build a test-form in which I use it too. In the timer_Elapsed Event I do some work and want to stop the timer it

Your method should look like:

public void foo(int value, string message)
    {
        if (InvokeRequired)
        {
            BeginInvoke(new Action(foo), value, message);
        }
        else
        {
            // Stop the timer 
        }
    }
