Timer.Elapsed event doesn't want to fire -- asp.net building controls

Are you trying to use this in a ASP.NET Page? Pages live only for the time of
the request. Once a request is served, the Page class is destroyed.

for asp.net, anand is correct.

for all languages in general, timers are not guaranteed to fire on
time. this happens for two reason: 1) task switching at the CPU; and
2) WM_TIMER messages have a lower priority than other messages (like
device input)

I am trying to learn how to use the System.Timers.Timer control to perform
an action every certain amount of time. However, the Elapsed event doesn't
want to fire, but I can't figure out why. I looked at several code examples
online, but I think I was doing everything the same way they were. Does
anybody have a complete example in VB.NET (the whole aspx and aspx.vb file
so I know I am including everything) that I can look at? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks.
