Again, it depends on how it will be shelled. Most likely it will work fine in this environment, but I would still use a threaded timer in this type of scenario.

Hi,
What if I use it for TaskManager? TaskManager will responsible to invoke an object method in async or sync mode; record down its start/end datetime; duration and etc.

Please advice.

Thank you

Depends. If you are doing this on the web, then no. But even still, you are better off using a System.Threading.Timer in this type of situation so that you can create a scheduler to a timed event. The System.Threading.Timer class is create for a threaded async or synced callback. This is how we create our scheduled tasks.

This is a very low overhead mechanism to use. In some cases we may have 20-30 of these going through an application and they work great.
