Solution 1

1) Your application must be running continuously for this to work ie you must have a windows service etc.

2) Save your dates to a file or a database.

3) Create a Thread which sleeps every 1 sec and checks if the dates have been passed, if so execute the emailsend method.

Solution 3

In the timer tick event, check the required date and time ,
If its(checking value) value is true
then call the Email send method..

Hi
To run an application at a particular time..
As Mehdi Gholam said the application must run continuously or you have to make a service that calls send email program at certain time.

Or

Dont include timer in your program and using windows task scheduler call your program to send email.
