    Timers are the only way to do it within a .NET application that I'm aware of. You can leave it up to Windows and use the scheduled tasks feature. You can use the commandline shtasks.exe to create and edit Windows scheduled tasks. You can get help on the syntax from Windows Help & Support and gigemboy's CodeBank submission on redirecting commandline output would be useful.

    Use a System.Timers.Timer, have it tick close to the due time and then make the interval smaller. Once it's done, do something.

    That, or use the task scheduler application in Windows.
