System.Threading.Timer not working for due time of more than 2 seconds in c#

Question

I am using System.Threading.Timer to make my current thread wait for a specific time. I am not using any intervals because I do not want the function to repeat itself. The problem with my code is that my timer does not work for due time values that are more than 2 seconds. Is it a memory issue or some error in my code. Can anyone help. Thanks. Here is my sample code.

 var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(a => { //Stuff to perform after 10 seconds }, null, 10000, 0);

You need to ensure that a reference to timer is being held somewhere, to prevent it from being garbage collected. For more information on this, see this post.

class DontGarbageCollect { static System.Threading.Timer timer; public void ShowTimer() { // Store timer in this.timer to prevent garbage collection timer = new System.Threading.Timer(a => { //Stuff to perform after 10 seconds }, null, 10000, 0); } }

Thanks that help me sort out the issue. Just a few edits were done in static timer to "static Timer timer" and this.timer to "timer". And the code worked fine.
