Timer not working for delay?

[ietprofessional]

I'm messing around with OOP concepts and I've found something I really don't understand about the Timer.
Can someone tell me why when I try to run the stopMove method the program freezes?

Thanks,
Harold

class MoveImageWithStop : MoveImage
{
public MoveImageWithStop()
{
this.BoolMove = true;
}

private bool boolMove;
public bool BoolMove
{
get
{
return boolMove;
}

set
{
boolMove = value;
}
}

public void MoveRight(PictureBox picture, int sleep)
{
System.Timers.Timer time = new System.Timers.Timer(300);
while (this.BoolMove == true)
{
base.MoveRight(picture);

time.Start();
}
time.Stop();
}

public void MoveLeft(PictureBox picture, int sleep)
{
System.Timers.Timer time = new System.Timers.Timer(300);
while (this.BoolMove == true)
{
base.MoveLeft(picture);

time.Start();
}
time.Stop();
}

public void stopMove()
{
this.BoolMove = false;
}

}

I would better use 1 timer that has an tick event but with diferent moving directions.
And this

System.Timers.Timer time = new System.Timers.Timer(300);

looks like an invalide timer declaration to me, the constructor expects as parameter an container object not an integer value

class MoveImageWithStop : MoveImage
{
    private System.Windows.Forms.Timer timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
    private bool direction=false;//means right
    public MoveImageWithStop()
    {        
        this.BoolMove = true;
        //add the event procedure
        this.timer.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.timer_Tick);
        this.timer.Interval=300//300 miliseconds
        this.timer.Enabled=true;//start the timer
    }
    private void timer_Tick(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
      if(!BoolMove) this.timer.Enabled=false;//disable timer
      if(!direction)
      {
          MoveRight(...)
      }
      else
      {
          MoveLeft(...);
      }
    }
    private bool boolMove;
    public bool BoolMove
    {
        get
        {
            return boolMove;
        }

        set
        {
            boolMove = value;
        }
    }

    public void MoveRight(PictureBox picture, int sleep)
    {
     //move right
    }

    public void MoveLeft(PictureBox picture, int sleep)
    {
     //move left
    }

    public void stopMove()
    {        
        this.BoolMove = false;        
    }

}

This should do it.
