Timer Problems and VB.Net?

Question

I have an aplications that need to be running at all times within this application there is a process that needs to start at a certain time. I have tried using the time with in vb.net windows forms but if I had to put the application on to check every minute the the program will use to much of the user's pc memory. The program is suppossed to be non invasive. I was wondering if there is any other way to check for times that don't affect the pc to much.

Answer 1

If you do a System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(60000)... then every minute it could check the time - that wouldn't affect the pc in any noticable way.

Seems there is a better way though... just can't think of it off hand

Answer 2

Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

        MEM.LABEL = USERMEM(lol^^)

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_FormClosed(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosedEventArgs... Handles Me.FormClosed

        Timer1.Stop()

    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

        Timer1.Interval = 10000

        Timer1.Start()

    End Sub

End Class

Module Module1

    Sub main()

        Form1.ShowDialog()

        'Form1.Show()

    End Sub

End Module
