Event versus Method Call

[Kane Jeeves]

I have a timer on a form with an interval of 1 second. I want to have each of my other classes do something (which should take far less than 1 second) on every timer tick. Is there any benefit to having my Timer Tick event raise an event that my objects respond to (or have them response to the Timer Tick event itself)? Or would it be just as efficient/correct to simply call the desired methods on each of my objects in the Timer Tick event? There's no dependency between the objects.

Thoughts?

TIA,

Kane
