Run once a day in C#

Question

Is there any clever method out there to make my executeEveryDayMethod() execute once a day, without having to involve the Windows TaskScheduler?

Answer 1

To run the job once daily between 7 and 8pm, i set up a timer with interval = 3600000 ms and then just execute the following code for timer tick.

private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    //ensure that it is running between 7-8pm daily.
    if (DateTime.Now.Hour == 19)
    { 
        RunJob(); 
    }
 }

An hour window is fine for me. Extra granularity on time will require a smaller interval on the timer (60000 for a minute) and including minutes on the if.

eg

{
    //ensure that it is running at 7:30pm daily.
    if (DateTime.Now.Hour == 19 && DateTime.Now.Minute == 30)
    { 
        RunJob(); 
    }
 }
