It really depends on the start point - if your C# code is a long running process or maybe even a service, you could (and should) take a look at hooking Quartz.Net into it - then you can create a 'task/job' and have that use CreateProcess/Process type semantics to start an external exe

This example shows how to create a task in Windows Task Scheduler.

See Solution 1 in this question Task Scheduler not calling notepad.exe.[^].

Solution 4

timer1.Interval = 15 * 60000; //15 min
private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
          System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"C:\Windows\System32\Notepad.exe");
}

Hi vinodhini, I think the best way you can achieve it using windows scheduler. You better write the code in a console application and trigger it from the windows scheduler. It is safe from there.

I have already done like this method only. But now they want to change the time interval in UI

I think it is always better to setup the scheduler on your server/machine where the scheduler will run. If you want to do it from your code then you would like to check the below blog.
