Calling Dispose makes the resources that are used by the Timer eligible to be reallocated for other purposes.
When this method completes, it signals the WaitHandle specified by the notifyObject parameter. Use this overload of the Dispose method if you want to be able to block until you are certain that the timer has been disposed.
