How to execute a method after every 12 hours inside console application

The requirement is to call a method after every 12 hours. The code below the method call should keep on running in different thread, how can we achieve this?

void ExecuteAfterTimeInterval()
{
  //some code
}

public static void main(string[] args)
{
  //call the below method after every 12 hours
  ExecuteAfterTimeInterval();


// run the below code in separate thread
  // some code here 
  //some code here
  //some code here

}

Give this a try. Look for //SET BREAK POINT HERE and run.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Threading;

namespace MyConsole
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program console = new Program();
            console.MyMethodAsync();
        }

        void ExecuteAfterTimeInterval()
        {
            //some code
        }

        public async Task MyMethodAsync()
        {
            Task<int> longRunningTask = LongRunningOperationAsync();

            // run the below code in separate thread
            //some code here 
            //some code here
            for (int i = 0; i < 10000000000; i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(i); //SET BREAK POINT HERE
            }
            //some code here

            //and now we call await on the task 
            int result = await longRunningTask;
        }

        public async Task<int> LongRunningOperationAsync() // assume we return an int from this long running operation 
        {

            bool retry = true;

            using (AutoResetEvent wait = new AutoResetEvent(false))
            {
                while (retry)
                {

                    //Do Work here
                    //await Task.Delay(43200000); //12 hour delay
                    await Task.Delay(3000); //SET BREAK POINT HERE
                }
            }

            return 1;
        }
    }
}
