We're getting following problem while using System.Threading.Timer (.NET 2.0) from a Windows service.

  1. There are around 12 different timer objects..
  2. Each timer has due time and interval. This is set correctly.
  3. It is observed that after 3 to 4 hours, the timers start signaling before their interval elapses. For example if the timer is supposed to signal at 4:59:59, it gets signaled at 4:59:52, 7 seconds earlier.

Can someone tell me what is the cause for this behavior and what is the solution for that ?

Thanks, Swati
