You have no access to such information. However you might set the interval to 50 and handle properly it to the same purpose (e.g. perform the intended 'main' task after 20 times it elapsed).

Hi, have a look at the timers Interval property and it's Elapsed event - as these were designed to provide the functionality you state you are looking for.

You only get notified (via an event) when the Interval is expired - the Tick event is raised. If you want to "do some job" at 50ms then you need to set the Interval to 50, not 1000, but you had better make sure that the "job" is pretty quick, or you aren't going to keep up. If you mean that you have an Interval of 1000ms and you want to "do some job" every 50 seconds, then that's easy:

C#

private int ticksCount = 0;
void myTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
    ticksCount++;
    if (ticksCount >= 50)
        {
        ticksCount = 0;
        DoSomeJob();
        }
    }
