Restart timer after Delay

Question

I use a timer initialized like this:

timer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer
{
    Interval = monitorConfig.Interval
};

timer.Tick += Timer_Tick;

In Timer_Tick event, after a certain condition I stop ther timer with

timer.Stop();

I do some stuff then i try to restart the timer after a delay like this:

var cancellationTokenSource = new CancellationTokenSource();
var cancellationToken = cancellationTokenSource.Token;

Task.Delay(timerDelay).ContinueWith((t) =>
{
    logger.Info("Starting Timer");
    timer.Start();
}, cancellationToken);

But the timer does not restart I must be missing something Thank you for your help

From looking over the internet it seems like you have 2 options: (1) Stop() and then Start() (2) AutoReset.
