Was there some sort of a question mixed in there somewhere hidden?

Since you don't really have a question, you need to write an application to do this that monitors the system time and checks the times in the database.

You need a Windows Service!

Sample: Simple Windows Service which sends auto Email alerts[^]

He wants to show a popup message of some kind so that leaves out a service.

Agree if it has to be exact 'popup'.

To avoid continuous polling (By having an application sitting in taskbar), from service, at an interval a custom applicaiton could be launched using Process.Start that will take care of showing the alert message. What say?

That could work. I think it's a bad way to do something like this either way anyway. I think we are missing some information that we would need to come up with a better solution.

Agree. :thumbsup:

If its straight forward DateTime related stuff, use DateTime.Compare method:

C#

DateTime date1 = new DateTime(2009, 8, 1, 0, 0, 0);
DateTime date2 = new DateTime(2009, 8, 1, 12, 0, 0);
int result = DateTime.Compare(date1, date2);
string relationship;

if (result < 0)
   relationship = "is earlier than";
else if (result == 0)
   relationship = "is the same time as";         
else
   relationship = "is later than";

Console.WriteLine("{0} {1} {2}", date1, relationship, date2);
// output: 
// 8/1/2009 12:00:00 AM is earlier than 8/1/2009 12:00:00 PM
