title: Why will this timer not start in a .net service application?
body: <p>I have this code for a Windows service I am writing in .NET....However the TICK function never gets executed regardless of what interval I put in the tmrRun properties.  What am I missing?  I am sure its something stupid I am not seeing.</p>
  
  <p>Thank You</p>
  
  <pre><code>    
  Imports System.IO
  
  Public Class HealthMonitor
  
      Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
          // Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
          // in motion so your service can do its work.
          tmrRun.Start()
      End Sub
  
      Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
          // Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
          tmrRun.Stop()
      End Sub
  
      Private Sub tmrRun_Tick(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles tmrRun.Tick
          //DO some stuff
      End Sub
  End Class
