Solution 1

With Windows Phone 7 you should use the DispatcherTimer found in the System.Windows.Threading namespace. Then you just add a method to it's Tick EventHandler

C#

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dt = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
        dt.Tick += new EventHandler(Tick);
        dt.Start();

        void Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
                // Do work here.
        }

hope this helps

Thank you for your reply. how would one set it as to 10 seconds?

You just add a TimeSpan to the Interval property of the DispatcherTimer

dt.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,0,10);

oh thank you very much thats what i needed. it worked perfectly. the thing is that when i close the form it continues doing it, how do i stop the timer when the wp7 form is closed and another thing is being done?

You will need to unsubscibe to the Tick event and dispose of the timer in your form closing event.
