The easiest way is to write an app that sends the SMSes, and use the Windows Scheduler to run it on the first of each month: How to automate tasks in Windows | TechRadar[^]

Hi OriginalGriff,

Thanks for answering.
But I am not get my solution.
I want to go with C# code. Because This Windows Application is for my client. So Client want only application which fulfill his needs not extra setting.

Thanks

You can't write "c# code" that "runs at a specific time".
You can write C# code that checks if it is a specific time or date while it is running, but unless it is running at the time it will not know. Scheduling when a task should happen is an OS feature, and in Windows the Scheduler allows you to say "run this app at 09:00 on the first of each month" You then write the C# code to actually send the SMS - which I assume you can do, it's not exactly complicated and there are a lot of examples on Google and on this site - and schedule that app to run. That way, the app doesn't need to be running 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year in order to do something 12 times a year. And if your user closes your "full time running app", or it crashes for some reason, your SMSes don't go out at all.

Okay, I understand what you want to say.
I have logic and coding ready but don't know how to execute in windows scheduler.
