VS.2005: bug or feature: wrong timer in windows service

I work on a windows service. When dragging a timer from the Toolbox component
section to the windows service designer, I get a System.Windows.Forms.Timer.

Documentation says System.Windows.Forms.Timer should only be used together
with windows forms.

imho the toolbox should contain System.Timers.Timer

thanks, herbert
