Hi, I am thinking of developing an app in C#.net, visual studio 2008. I keep the PC and application running but the app will start working on a specific time. I have no idea how to do that.

Thanks in advance for any kind of information.

The easiest and most reliable way of doing this is just to have Windows Scheduler start your program at the specfied time. Leave the whole scheduling part of the program to Windows, and just concentrate on writing your program so it does what it needs to.
