For example, in case of Forms, use a timer and its Click event. Other kinds of desktop applications have timers too.

Hi @essamce , Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

First of all, can you explain what desktop application you want to use it in? Generally, if it is winform, I also tend to use the timer control, which is very simple.

In the following sample replace Console.WriteLine with a call to a method in a class.

JobManager.AddJob(() => Console.WriteLine("Late job!"), (s) => s.ToRunEvery(5).Seconds());
