1st way

Use Threading in your program

C#

Thread.Sleep (TimeSpan.FromHours (1));  // sleep for 1 hour
Thread.Sleep (500);                     // sleep for 500 milliseconds

2nd way

Use Windows service

In Windows Service

C#

Process.Start("path to your program .exe");

Solution 2

I don't know why you would want to do that, but...
You will need to set your app to run automatically on startup (Google will help, it's slightly different for different systems)
Then create a Timer, set its Interval property to 60*60*1000 and handle the Tick event.
Add your code to the handler method.

Solution 3

You can add your program to Windows Task Scheduler, where you can select the Time (when to run) and frequency (when to repeat).

So, it will automatically run as per your preference.
