I have two timers in a windows form app.

I want first timer1 to enable by button1 click.

What i want to know is how to do following:

The first timer1 must fire once(tick once).

And the second timer2 to start after 20 seconds of timer1 tick.

Thank you.

Do you want both timers should fire only once?

No the timer1 must fire once and after 20 seconds after Timer1 tick timer2 must start.interval of timer2 is 4000.

A good start is to look at the Timer Class[^] and see the examples. It will give you a good idea on how-to make it work.

1. Start the second timer in timer1 after 20 seconds using sleep() method.
2. Stop the timer1 in timer2.

C#

int count = 1;

       private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           timer1.Start();
           textBox1.Text = "Button1 Clicked at " + DateTime.Now.ToString();

       }

       private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           if (count == 1)
           {
               textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + Environment.NewLine + "Timer1 Enabled at " + DateTime.Now.ToString();
           }

           if (count == 17)
           {
               timer2.Start();
           }
           count++;
       }

       private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
       {
           timer1.Stop();
           textBox1.Text = textBox1.Text + Environment.NewLine + "Timer2 Enabled at " + DateTime.Now.ToString();

       }
   }

Interval of timer1 is 1000 and timer2 is 4000.
