title: Reliable alternative to Timer in .NET framework?
body: <p>Is there relialbe alternative to Timer class in .Net?<br>
  We are having issues with System.Timers.Timer and System.Threading.Timer, e.g., they start immidietly, or sometimes fire out after long period of inactivity (after 49 days).<br>
  I've seen that there seems to be a lot of issues with them like here: <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/netfxbcl/thread/dbc398a9-74c0-422d-89ba-4e9f2499a6a3" rel="nofollow">http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/netfxbcl/thread/dbc398a9-74c0-422d-89ba-4e9f2499a6a3</a><br>
  We can not use Forms timer.<br>
  We are thinking to pause the thread for certain period of time instead of the timer...</p>
