window service to run exactly at 12:30 AM.

Question

I also want my window service to run exactly at 12:30 AM. Currently it has two timers with interval 24hour and 10min. 10 min timer can start at any time but 24 hour timer must start at 12:30 AM morning. How can I make this done using Task Scheduler. Please Help urgent

You can use Timer with windows which runs once in a day.

System.Timers.Timer timer; public APIWinService() { InitializeComponent(); timer = new System.Timers.Timer(); } /// /// Start the Window service and run Daily basis. ///Set up a timer to trigger every Day. /// /// protected override void OnStart(string[] args) { string day = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ADD_DAY].ToString(); string hour = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ADD_HOUR].ToString(); string minute = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[ADD_MINUTE].ToString(); if (day == string.Empty) day = 0; if (hour == string.Empty) hour = 0; DateTime _scheduleTime = DateTime.Today.AddDays(int.Parse(day)).AddHours(int.Parse(hour)).AddMinutes(int.Parse(minute)); string Value = string.Empty; // Value = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings[DailyAt_INTERVAL].ToString(); timer.Interval = _scheduleTime.Subtract(DateTime.Now).TotalSeconds * 1000; // double.Parse(Value); timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(this.OnTimer); timer.Start(); MaintainLog.WriteToFile(API window service has started {0}); } /// /// By this OnTimer() Method call AsterGrabberAPI Based on certain time /// /// /// public void OnTimer(object sender System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs args) { // 1. Process Schedule Task MaintainLog.WriteToFile(API window service executed); DataManager.PullDataFromAPI(); // 2.
