Did you try reading the specs for each of them to find out?

As I memorized, three types of timer works similar to each other, but in renference to CLR VIA C#, System.Threadin g.Timer is recommended

"As I memorized", what did you learn about how they work? The reference is the key to the solution as OP makes no mention of platform. But is that the point - they may want to memorize your solution... <sigh>

system.windows. forms.timer: taken from windows option on toolbox
i am using this timer its working good i already use this control in my project.My Client requirement as same as your requirement.So use this Control its fulfill ur requirement

I have them here in order of complexity:
system.windows. forms.timer - This timer uses windows messaging to trigger its events and runs on the GUI's thread. If your GUI thread locks up/is busy, so is your timer. Very simple to setup and use.
system.timers.t ime - This is roughly equivelant to the windows.forms.t imer except geared more towards console applications. It also appears to run on the same thread it was created on.
system.threadng .timer - Creates a new thread for exectution of it's events. Most complex to use of the three, but the most powerful.

All of which run in your application. You can use any of them to trigger a function (and that function could also spawn another program if you like).
