Execute callback when timer is started in C#

Is there a way to execute timer callback for the first time at the moment the timer is started (Using start() method), and not to wait for interval to pass for the first execution?

UPDATE: I'm using System.Timers.Timer.

Try a different timer, like System.Threading.Timer. This supports an initial delay (you want a 0) plus a period.

The 3rd parameter (1000) is the due time as your wish:

_timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(InvokeTimerCallback), null, 1000, 3600000);

No, because the Timer is designed to call the event Tick after a certain interval it has started.

Instead, in your code you can manually call the event Tick when you first start the Timer.

P.S. I am talking about the WinForms Timer.
