Help on creating a program that runs continuosly in c#

[inlovewithmusic]

Hello,

I am trying to write a program that will fetch the amount of memory used by a process on a pc and write it to a text file. I have done this with the help of the
System.Diagnostics library, the problem is that I want the program to execute continuously (it should not stop). What is the best way that this can be done ?.

I have already tried the following

1) Infinite for loop (not efficient as it consumes all the cpu)

2) Writing the functionality as a windows service (again not efficient as the service starts, executes the code once and since it does not have anything else to do , it just stands there and does nothing)

Any code examples would be of great help ..

Cheers
Jaic

Put Thread.Sleep()s in your infinite loop and it will not eat CPU cycles.
You could also conside using the system.threading.timer object?
