  c = a + b;

  // make timer, set to 2 seconds, add handler, start it
  System.Windows.Forms.Timer tim = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();
  tim.Tick += new EventHandler(tim_Tick);
  tim.Interval = 2000;

  tim.Stop()
  tim.Tick -= new EventHandler(tim_Tick);
  tim.Dispose();
  
  // do your thingy
