Remarks
To keep CPU and memory usage to a minimum, timers in the .NET Micro Framework operate slightly differently than do timers in the .NET Framework. Specifically, setting both the dueTime and period parameters does not cause a timer to be queued, as it does in the .NET Framework. Instead, calling the Change method throws an exception indicating that the timer has been retriggered.
It is possible for the common language runtime (CLR) to reuse a timer after the timer has been released by the Dispose method. As a result, the Change method may return true even though your application has already called Dispose on it.
Version Information
Available in the .NET Micro Framework version 4.1 and 4.2.
