Solution 2

One of the possible variants is to use timer with time delay equals 1 hour.
the you must to subscribe to timer tick events and perform WinWorm display workflow.

Didn't you think that this request is a huge abuse of UI and... everything?

Why abuse ? If i will be using System.Threading.Timer ,which performs counting on separate thread, so no overheads on UI thread. Furthermore, if we try to inject Rx to aforementioned approach and change existing behavior to push, with this approach we can extremely reduce some overheads to UI part.

Maybe you can advise some more advanced approach, i would like to hear it, because you have a spot and always have been giving nice advices =)

I don't mean it. I mean design, treating the user with intrusive behavior, etc. Do you think the user can tolerate such application behavior? I would not. The whole idea is to abuse the user, don't you think so?

Solution 1

You can use Timer Control and can define time interval for 1 hour.

Create popup message and show it on Timer Tick event.

ya its working. now i want in case of my application is closed then after one hr same pop will appear..

Its only occurs when your application is running otherwise you need windows services.
there can be an alternative
if you don't want to show form to user. remove minimize maximize close button from form and form size 0,0 and run application.
