Easiest 500 points you'll earn all day? &nbsp;Maybe! &nbsp;Thanks a ton! &nbsp;Now my app is complete.<br />

My next version will run as a service. &nbsp;I'm a new developer, so I'm taking baby steps. &nbsp;Nonetheless, this thing would be better for the user if it were a service.<br />

I've been reading up on System.Timers.Timer and System.Threading.Timer, but I can't seem to make the synaptic leap between my n00bness and the answer.  Basically, I just want to run a piece of code every five minutes.  Right now it's running on a button click.

How can I run a piece of code every five minutes?

C# is an object-oriented programming language created in conjunction with Microsoft’s .NET framework. Compilation is usually done into the Microsoft Intermediate Language (MSIL), which is then JIT-compiled to native code (and cached) during execution in the Common Language Runtime (CLR).
