Monitoring elapsed time with the stop watch

[steve1rm]

Hello,

I am developing a windows service in VS 2005 that will monitor time and do something every 5 seconds.

I have created some code using the stopwatch class. Can anyone tell me if this is the best way to do this .

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
// TODO: Add code here to start your service.
sw.Start();
this.RunningTime();
}

protected override void OnStop()
{
// TODO: Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
sw.Stop();
}

private void RunningTime()
{
if (sw.IsRunning)
{
if (sw.Elapsed.Seconds == 5)
{
//Do something here
}
}
}

Many thanks in advance,

Steve
