Re: VB.Net Console app needs timer

Hi Scott -

To repeat a task: In the task scheduler, after you create the task, go
to the task's properties, then click advanced. There's a checkbox to
Repeat the Task, and, conincidentally, the default is every 10
minutes.

My personal take on which timer you should use: I'm a purist, and I
would go with the System.Timers one, since you are not creating a
WinForms app. As I understand it, the Windows Forms version has more
overhead (not that most people care about memory usage these days.)

That said, unless you have some other reason to have your application
running all day long, I would do the scheduled task; if you would
prefer to have it running 24/7, maybe you should look into creating a
windows service (is this possible in express?) instead of a console
app....

Cheers,

-Mark
