Windows service to run at certain time

[Guest]

I have a windows service that I want to carry out an action on a certain day
of the week at a certain time and if the time is missed for some reason, I
want it to be carried out as soon as the service starts again.

Any ideas on how to go about this?
Thanks!

A windows service is pretty much designed to start when th ePC is
powered up, and continue until it is shutdown. Within that, setting a
timer should allow to the perform some action at a set time. Picking
up missed tiems would probably need you to write the last run time to
the registry, and check it each time the service starts.

You need to do some math.

And learn about the
dueTime and intervalTime

I posted before, with example code.

When I say "timer" I mean a coded up timer, not a timer you drag onto the
form.

Thank you!
This is more or less what I needed.
