windows services in vb.net

[balajigr1214]

Hello,

Can anybody let me know how to use a timer in a windows service created in vb.net so that my service will have to do some queries very 5 mins.
If any other logic for this also will be accepted.
Reply asap.

Imports System.ServiceProcess

Public Class Service1
Inherits System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
'Fire timer Elaspsed every 5 seconds...
Private Shared WithEvents tmr As New Timers.Timer(50000)
#Region " Component Designer generated code "

Public Sub New()
MyBase.New()

' This call is required by the Component Designer.
InitializeComponent()

' Add any initialization after the InitializeComponent() call

End Sub

'UserService overrides dispose to clean up the component list.
Protected Overloads Overrides Sub Dispose(ByVal disposing As Boolean)
If disposing Then
If Not (components Is Nothing) Then
components.Dispose()
End If
End If
MyBase.Dispose(disposing)
End Sub

' The main entry point for the process
<MTAThread()> _
Shared Sub Main()
Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase

' More than one NT Service may run within the same process. To add
' another service to this process, change the following line to
' create a second service object. For example,
'
' ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase () {New Service1, New MySecondUserService}
'
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase () {New Service1}

System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
End Sub

'Required by the Component Designer
Private components As System.ComponentModel.IContainer

' NOTE: The following procedure is required by the Component Designer
' It can be modified using the Component Designer.
' Do not modify it using the code editor.
<System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThrough()> Private Sub InitializeComponent()
components = New System.ComponentModel.Container()
Me.ServiceName = "Service1"
End Sub

#End Region

Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
tmr.Start()
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnStop()
' Add code here to perform any tear-down necessary to stop your service.
tmr.Stop()
End Sub

Private Shared Sub tmr_Elapsed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs) Handles tmr.Elapsed
MsgBox("Timer Code Fired")
End Sub
End Class

Hello,

In the timer event of windows service how do i call a method in a different dd which actually shows a form.
