Is it better to use timers or threads?

Plus with threads, you don't have to worry about it calling it self until you
want it to.

System.Thread there is more direct control over when and how the thread is

I can't think of any reason to use a Timer as opposed to System.Thread...in a

I have a service that has multiple process running at the same time (6-10)

private void WorkerThread_DoWork()
{
  while (contiueWorking)
  {
    //Perform Some Task

    System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10000);
  }
}

// Declaration:
System.Threading.Timer _timer;

//Initialization:
_timer = new System.Threading.Timer(OnTimer, null, 10000, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);

private void OnTimer(object state) {
   try {
      // Do your stuff here
   } catch (Exception ex) {
      // Errorhandling  
   } finally {
      // the first parameter is the delay until the callback method will be called again
      // the second parameter defines the interval in which it will be rais. Timeout.Infition -> Disabled
      _timer.Change(10000, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
   }

_timer.Change(System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite, System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
