Hi
How can I monitor the system clock and have some events fire when the hour or minute changes Or should I just run a thread that keeps checking the time in an infinite loop I think the latter would consume lot of resources.
Monitor System clock and fire events accordingly

Yes you can use a Thread and make it sleep for 2-5 seconds and check the time in each iteration using DateTime.Now. It'll not consume much CPU if you give it delay using Thread.Sleep().... But you have to bear that tolerance which is a little delay when thread is slept.
I hope this will help.

Hi,
Otherwise, you can choose timer to do this.
Set a fair interval, and to check the DateTime.Now value in tick event.
That's the idea.
Thanks.

Or, calculate the number of millseconds to the time you want and sleep the thread until then...
