Hi folkz, I'm still somewhat new to .netCore and am trying to determine how to use a Timer.

The below code works but it starts the timer, counts and then fires the function for the first time. 

I'd like to change this in such a way that the function is run immediately, then start the timer.

any help would be appreciated

        private Timer EventGenTimer;

        public EventReceiverService(IHubContext<EventHub> eventHub)
        {
            _eventHub = eventHub;

            Init();
        }

        private void Init()
        {
            EventGenTimer = new Timer(30 * 1000)
            {
                AutoReset = false
            };
            EventGenTimer.Elapsed += MockEventGenTimer_Elapsed;
        }

        public void StartReceive()
        {
            EventGenTimer.Start();
            Console.WriteLine("Start receiving..........");
        }

        private async void MockEventGenTimer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            EventGenTimer.Enabled = false;

            if (ClientId > 0)
            {
               await RunMe();

            }

            EventGenTimer.Enabled = true;
        }


        private async Task runmeAsync()
        {
           // do domething Asynchere
        }
