Accurate Timer that fires on relative time

[unknown666]

Hello,

I am building an application that requires an accurate timer to be fired every X minutes. This x value will change based on the user's requirements.

I've looked into using the Timer class. I cannot use this becuase it fires every X minutes from when I started the applicaation.

For instance, if I start the application at 14:33:00 and I want it to fire every 5 minutes, it will fire again around 14:38:00. I need it to fire every 5th minute in an hour. Continuing with my example, if I start it at 14:33, it should fire at 14:35, 14:40, etc.

Also, I wouldnt mind if it was synced to the system clock.

My question is this:

Does this exist? And if so, where can I find something to lead me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Could you just find the diference between time now and the next interval, set the timer to that initial time delta, then back to 5 min after it hits the first one?
