This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind.
Perhaps if you were to tell us what you are going to do with the timer, or even what your application is supposed to do, it might help?

actually timer is used to do work in specific intervals in back end while you can do your other work.It can be used to load huge amount of data while working on the form simultaneously.
