Drag the timer-icon from the toolbox onto your form. Set its interval = 2000 (milliseconds). Create the timer-tick-event by double-clicking on the timer-icon below you the VS-designer. In this tick-event start your process.

You put your code in the timer tick event, but are you REALLY sure you want to open notepad every 2 seconds? You will soon be overloaded with them.

Instead of keep asking, whu not read up on the system timer - you have been given the answer bu 2 people already. If you drag a timer from the toolbox onto your form, then double click the timer it will open the timer_click event coce. Now find out the rest by doing a bit of work for yourself.

And what happens if you can't understand, or refuse to try, the simple answers you've been given?? Those answers are in the simplest terms possible. What do you want?? The code written for you?? What would learn then??

I did help, I have given you simple instructions to achieve what you are asking for, as has at least one other poster. What more can I do? Write the code for you? Tough.
