Elaborating on dtb's answer this is how I implemented it.

  private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        System.Threading.TimerCallback callback = new TimerCallback(ProcessTimerEvent);

        //first occurrence at
        var dt = new DateTime(DateTime.Now.Year, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Day, 10, 0, 0);

        if (DateTime.Now < dt)
        {
            var timer = new System.Threading.Timer(callback, null, 
                                               //other occurrences every 24 hours
                            dt - DateTime.Now, TimeSpan.FromHours(24));
        }

    }

    private void ProcessTimerEvent(object obj)
    {
        MessageBox.Show("Hi Its Time");
    }
