title: Timer Interval 1000 != 1 second?
body: <p>I have a label which should show the seconds of my timer (or in other word I have a variable to which is added 1 every interval of the timer). The interval of my timer is set to 1000, so the label should update itself every second (and should also show the seconds). But the label is after 1 second already in the hundreds. What is a proper interval to get 1 second?</p>
  
  <pre><code>int _counter = 0;
  Timer timer;
  
  timer = new Timer();
  timer.Interval = 1000;
  timer.Tick += new EventHandler(TimerEventProcessor);
  label1.Text = _counter.ToString();
  timer.Start();
  
  private void TimerEventProcessor(object sender, EventArgs e)
  {
    label1.Text = _counter.ToString();
    _counter += 1;
  }
  </code></pre>
