Windows Service to run a function at specified time

Question

I wanted to start a Windows service to run a function everyday at specific time.

What method i should consider to implement this? Timer or using threads?

Answer 1

private static double scheduledHour = 10;
private static DateTime scheduledTime;

public WinService()
{
     scheduledTime = DateTime.Today.AddHours(scheduledHour);//setting 10 am of today as scheduled time- service start date
}

private void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
      DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
      if (scheduledTime < DateTime.Now)
      {
         TimeSpan span = now - DateTime.Now;
         scheduledTime = scheduledTime.AddMilliseconds(span.Milliseconds).AddDays(1);// this will set scheduled time to 10 am of next day while correcting the milliseconds
         //do the scheduled task here
      }  
}
