Windows service

Hi there! I need to create some windows service which will execute every N period of time. The question is - which timer control should I use: System.Winforms or System.Threading one? Does it influence on something? Thank you.

You are posting to the wrong forum. Windows Forms do not work in a service. These kind of open-ended questions are fodder for StackOverflow.com.

I already saw this article. The problem is that there are many evidences of not correct work of windows services with System.Timers.Timer.. I would like to hear some opinions about it..
