Using Timer you could do that easily. In the following way, you can create a timer, set the specific time interval and start the timer in FormLoad() method. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Timer _tmr = new Timer(); _tmr.Interval = 5000; // interval in millisecond _tmr.Tick += new EventHandler(tmr_Tick); _tmr.Start(); -------------------------------------------------------------------- // This is the event handler for the timer void tmr_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Here, call the SMS Sending method } Hope it will help.

To set the timer interval to the specific time, you can use code such as this: DateTime now = DateTime.Now; DateTime specific = DateTime.Today.AddHours(12); // for 12.00 noon say today int ms = (int)(specific - now).TotalMilliseconds; _tmr.Interval = ms;
