You can do:
 

         protected override void OnStart()
        {
            Timer.Start(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(100));
        }
        
        protected override void OnTimer()
        {
            Print("Test");
        }

If you need more timers you could use the Timer inside System.Windows.Forms, I read that is also single threaded, read the documentation here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.timer?view=netframework-4.7.2

The timers inside System.Timers are not single threaded and I think they're not safe.

My bad tho, I tried it and it doesn't work outside forms, the one built in cTrader is enough for most tasks I think.
