Of course one solution is to set the timer's interval to 1000 and
constantly check the time.
The System.Threading.Timer has a max. period of 4.294.967.294 ms
thats about 49 days, that should be suficcent.
It's twice the max. period of the API the article mentions.
This seems to me like "guessing" rather than going straight forward.
I also found a way to set a large interval to the timer:
This is not "guessing" but "polling" (= looking from time to time, if there
is something to do.
I guess, the task scheduler is doing something very similar.
If this is not precise enough, you could test, if the due time is within the
next period and then set the exact rest interval.

This seems to be a more professional way to solve the problem.
But still I hope there's another cool trick to solve this.
...or not?
