app to perform routines at regular intervals

[dmarkus100]

hi

i have a need for my vb.net app to perform methods at regular intervals. it needs to check sql tables and react to data found, send email and sms messages. i've tried using a loop but this only allows me to perform 1 check ie checking sql tables. the app needs to execute a method every x minutes. i tried using system threading but i got errors.

any ideas will be very welcome.

I would use a timer, set it for the number of minutes (in milliseconds) then in the Tick event you do everything that needs to be done
