.NET Application which launches command at a particular time

Question

Run windows service task at a specific time using C#

I am building an app in .NET (c#). I am trying to find out how to write to a log at a particular time everyday at various times I specify.

I understand I can easily do this with a scheduled task, but I would like to keep the app running (preferably a console app). And launch commands at designated times.

Thank you!

You could take a look at the Quartz .NET library. It's worked well for me.

You want to use one of the 3 .Net Timer classes, most likely System.Timers.Timer. You'd set the Timer's Interval property, and do your logging in the event handler for the Timer's Elapsed event

If you want an application to keep running then use a Windows service but, personally, given what I know of your requirements, I'd probably just go with a scheduled task.
