❔ Setting daily recurring notifications
Hi, I'm making an application with WPF, and I'm trying to see if I can get a notification to appear at a specific time. I want to send this notification every day at the selected time, like a reminder, even if the app is closed.
I've been searching online and it's kinda confusing, so if anyone has done something like this, please tell me the steps to follow!

If you wish to send a notification, even if the application is closed, you'd have to use a Windows service for that. It is a program that runs in the background. You could then configure it, via your WPF application. Look up Windows Services and how to implement them using .NET
However, keep in mind that a service can be stopped. Meaning that it will no longer send notifications. So, in essence it isn't really possible to perform operations without at least something running in the background
Alternatively to using a windows process, you could do it similarly to Skype.
The close button does not close the application, instead it is minimized, or hidden to the task tray.
