I am finding that the DispatcherTimer never fires unless you have a GUI based app. I have a program that has no LCD, only a set of NIXIE tubes for a clock.
None of the timers fire. 
Is there any way around this?
We will look into it soon.

Hi,
What you’re seeing is expected behavior. DispatcherTimer depends on the UI dispatcher loop, so in applications without a UI (no Application.Run()), the dispatcher never processes events and the timer will not fire.
the recommended approach is to use System.Threading.Timer, which works independently of the UI:
new Timer(callback, null, 0, 1000);
This is the proper timer to use in non-GUI scenarios.
