wait - Better way to constantly run function periodically in C# -

i have c# program checking new additions online db. have code have check every 10 seconds

    static void main(string[] args)     {         boolean run = true;         while (run)         {             dbconnect db = new dbconnect();              // amazing awesome mind blowing cool stuff              db.closeconnection();              // wait 10 seconds             int wait = 10 * 1000;             system.threading.thread.sleep(wait);         }     } 

i have error reporting posts db , if major error occurs program shuts down. outside of specific errors within function, method secure , efficient?

you should rewrite program windows service, way not need rely on user logged program run.

if go service route, swap out infinite loop timer.

public partial class service1 : servicebase {     public service1()     {         initializecomponent();         int wait = 10 * 1000;         timer = new timer(wait);         timer.elapsed += timer_elapsed;          // don't want timer start ticking again till tell to.         timer.autoreset = false;     }      private system.timers.timer timer;      protected override void onstart(string[] args)     {         timer.start();     }      void timer_elapsed(object sender, elapsedeventargs e)     {         try         {             dbconnect db = new dbconnect())             try             {                 // amazing awesome mind blowing cool stuff             }                         {                 db.closeconnection(); //we put in block still happen, if exception thrown.             }             timer.start();          }          catch(somenoncriticalexception ex)          {              myexecptionlogger.log(ex, level.waring); //log exception know went wrong              timer.start(); //start timer next loop          }          catch(exception ex)          {              myexecptionlogger.log(ex, level.critical); //log exception know went wrong              this.stop(); //stop service          }     }      protected override void onstop()     {         timer.stop();     } }
