Timer.Start() does not take any parameters. And "dueTime" is not a Timer
property, either. So clearly you are not telling the whole story of how this
timer gets initialized. Post your code or nobody can help . . .

sorry for being late, didnt know how to set options so that i can get
mail if someone replies.

as for code, it is a bit long but it is something like this.

try
{
this.timer1.Stop();
......
log.WriteLine("Ending current session, restarting in three
minutes");
this.timer1.Start();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
log.WriteLine(e.Message);
}

i am doing this in timer.Elapsed event. and in my log file i got these
two entries

Ending current session, restarting in three minutes
Number must be either non-negative or -1.

I too am having this except same problem, on code that has not been modified for nearly 6 months.

It appears that something has changed in System.Timers assembly.

Anyone got clues on this
