backgroundworker

I want to create a background worker for a WinForm that triggers code whenever midnight rolls by.

I have an idea of how to do it, but I'm pretty sure it's not the best way to do it.

while(1==1)
{
//if Datetime.Now == midnight, execute code
//sleep(1second)
}

The dynamic type in C# 4.0 is a welcome addition to the language. One thing I’ve been doing a lot with it is to remove explicit Reflection code that’s often necessary when you ‘dynamically’ need to walk and object hierarchy. In the past I’ve had a number of ReflectionUtils that used string based expressions… >>> More
