time event at a specific time

Hi!

Is it possible to get a time event at a specific time, for
instance eight a'clock? My program is running in the
background and is minimized to the tray bar.

If not, is there a smooth way to accomplish this in a
different way?

Best regards,
Andreas Lundgren

Add a Timer and check the date/time each time the Tick or Elapsed event
occurs.

Hi Andreas,

Calculate how long it is before your event and then set the interval on a
new Timer. Start the Timer then sit back and wait.

I saw him sitting after his computer with a beer in his hand or something,

I thought you did that too with your answer.

Problem is that the longest intervall is aprox. 64
seconds. So it's not going to be a very long wait...

Did you see my suggestion?

Hi Andreas,

64 seconds is ages to a Timer. ;-)

Is there any reason why a Timer wouldn't work, for instance, do you need
more precision than it can provide?

Hi Andreas,
\\\\
To give you a third alternative
Dim mywatch As Date = Date.Parse("20:00:00")
Do While mywatch > Date.Now
Application.DoEvents()
Threading.Thread.Sleep(100)
Loop
