Just add a Timer to your form in the designer and set its Interval to the number of milliseconds in 30 minutes. Double-click it to create a Tick event handler and add code to check for your file. You can then just Start and Stop the Timer as needed. Note that once you Start it it will keep Ticking on the specified Interval until you Stop it.
