How do I create a timer in WPF?

I am a newbie in timer in wpf and I need a code that every 5mins there is a message box will pop up. .can anyone help me for the simple code of timer.

That's what I tried so far:

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
private void test()
{
dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0, 0, 1);
dispatcherTimer.Start();
}
private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// code goes here
}


private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
test();
}

In WPF, you use a DispatcherTimer.

System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer dispatcherTimer = new System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer();
dispatcherTimer.Tick += new EventHandler(dispatcherTimer_Tick);
dispatcherTimer.Interval = new TimeSpan(0,5,0);
dispatcherTimer.Start();




private void dispatcherTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
// code goes here
}

Adding to the above. You use the Dispatch timer if you want the tick events marshalled back to the UI thread. Otherwise I would use System.Timers.Timer.
