Answer 1

System.Timers.Timer is a server based timer(elapsed event uses Threadpool. More accurate than other timers). When your computer goes in sleep mode or in hibernate mode, all the state of your program are stored in RAM. Same goes for your application state. Once your system is up your application state will be restored (along with the timer) by the OS. It wont be a good idea to "do something" or try to detect this events. Its possible from a Windows service though. Leave it to the OS to do its job.
