I am creating an app for Windows Phone 7 using Silverlight in C#.

I have found many references to the DispatcherTimer(DispatcherPriority) overload, but I cannot set this in my code (e.g. timer = new DispatcherTimer(DispatcherPriority) tells me "DispatcherPriority does not exist in the current context").

I thought DispatcherTimer is overloaded with DispatcherTimer(DispatcherPriority) but I cannot see any reference to this constructor when I use it in my code. I would like to try setting the priority to "normal" or "send" but I cannot seem to implement any DispatcherTimer with a priority. Any suggestions?

The constructor that takes the Dispatcher Priority only exists in the full .NET framework - that is for WPF. The DispatcherTimer in Silverlight/WP7 doesn't support priorty.

Compare the documentation for DispatcherTimer in .NET 4 and for Silverlight.
