Hi Hemant,

Based on my understanding, you want open any file with associated software in full screen model, right? If so, I think the System.Diagnostics.Process Class will help you achieve this. This class provides access to local and remote processes and enables you to start and stop local system processes. Try the following code:

Code Snippet

Process p = new Process();

ProcessStartInfo info = new ProcessStartInfo(@"D:\01.gif");//change to you file path

info.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Maximized;

p.StartInfo = info;

p.Start();

Hope this helps.
Best regards.

Hi Santosh.

If the problem is just about the schedule; try to use the task schedule from Windows SO.
I have the same situation at the company that I work for. And it works fine for me Smile

In terms of building blocks I would use a timer set to fire every second and then iterate though some kind of list with datetimes and the related action.Maybe there are other more refined ways of doing this (like setting up an arraylist of structs, each one holding a timer and and a file to open, and the timer's interval set to the nest time this file will open...?), but that's a pretty straightforward and simple way to accomplish this.
