Windows Service needs to wait, Thread.Sleep?

Question

I have a c# windows service that needs to execute a database query every 60 seconds (or whatever interval is set in the config file). I'm using Thread.sleep(60) in a while loop to accomplish this. Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks

You can use a System.Threading.Timer to run your code every 60 seconds instead of doing it in a sleeping thread.
