Raising a function by timer

Question

I want to raise a function periodically . When I finish one function cycle to wait some period of time and only them to start the second run.

I thought to make it like :

        timer = new System.Timers.Timer();
        timer.Interval = 1000;
        timer.Enabled = true;
        timer.Start();
        timer.Elapsed += TimerTick;


private void TimerTick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
//My functionality
}

But seems that TimerTick is raised every secound and not secound from my last TimerTick run .

How i can solve this one ?

You can use threads:

var thread = new Thread(o => {
    while(true)
    {
        DoTick();
        Thread.Sleep(1000);
    }
});
