  Why not just make it a Console Application and use the Task Scheduler to run the application at the desired time Using the Task Scheduler, you'll have many more options on when to run it, than you could code by hand (given a reasonable amount of time).

  Hi

  try and add this sample code and see if the date appears in in your label, if it does't check if you added the timer control from toolbox

  public string GetTime() { string TimeInString = ""; int day = DateTime.Now.Day; int month = DateTime.Now.Month; int year = DateTime.Now.Year; int hour = DateTime.Now.Hour; int min = DateTime.Now.Minute; int sec = DateTime.Now.Second; string AM = "AM"; string PM = "PM"; TimeInString = (day < 10) "0" + day.ToString() : day.ToString(); TimeInString += "-" + ((month < 10) "0" + month.ToString() : month.ToString()); TimeInString += "-" + ((year < 10) "0" + year.ToString() : year.ToString()); TimeInString += " " + ((hour < 10) "0" + hour.ToString() : hour.ToString()); TimeInString += ":" + ((min < 10) "0" + min.ToString() : min.ToString()); TimeInString += ":" + ((sec < 10) "0" + sec.ToString() : sec.ToString()); TimeInString += " " + ((hour < 12) "" + AM : PM); return TimeInString; } private void Clock_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (sender == timer1) { lbTime.Text = GetTime(); //lbTime is the label } }

  hope this helps

  I suppose this is not what you want:

  int minute = DateTime.Now.Hour;

  and

  int minute = DateTime.Now.Minute;

  would be more appropriate.

  Hi

  You can use a timer control in your toolbox to run BackUp() at the specified time frames you set like:-

  in the formName.Designer.cs you will have:-

  // // timer1 // this.timer1.Enabled = true; this.timer1.Interval = 1000; this.timer1.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.Clock_Tick);

  your code will look like :-

  private void Clock_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (sender == timer1) { int hour = DateTime.Now.Hour; int minute = DateTime.Now.Hour; int second = DateTime.Now.Second; if (hour == 11 && minute == 30 && second == 0)//Run every day at 11:30:00 AM { BackUp(); } //OR int day_of_week = DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek; if(day_of_week = 3 && hour == 11 && minute == 30 && second == 0)//Run every Wednsday at 11:30:00 AM { BackUp(); } } }

  Hope this helps

  I'm missing something here...

  here's what i'm doing:

  DateTime schedHour = DateTime.Parse(lblSchedule.Text.ToString());

  h = Convert.ToInt32(schedHour.Hour);

  m = Convert.ToInt32(schedHour.Minute);

  System.Windows.Forms.Timer Clock;

  Clock = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer();

  Clock.Tick += new System.EventHandler(this.Clock_Tick);

  Clock.Interval = 1000;

  Clock.Start();

  private void Clock_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)

  {

  if (sender == Clock)

  {

  int hour = DateTime.Now.Hour;

  int minute = DateTime.Now.Hour;

  int second = DateTime.Now.Second;

  if (hour == h && minute == m && second == 0)

  {

  BackUp();

  }

  }

  }

  ...nothing happens, Backup() doesn't start....

  Thanks again
