How can I make a piece of code repeat every x seconds?

I'm trying to get a specific piece of code to repeat.

I would like it so that when I press a button, it opens an application and then closes it 10 seconds later, only to reopen it again. I believe I would have to use 2 timers, but I still can't figure out what code I should use to set an on timer end (or something like that) to run the specified code.

If you make your click handler async you can just use Task.Delay.

public async void MyButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs 3)
{
    OpenApplication();
    await Task.Delay( 10 * 1000 ); //10,000 milliseconds a.k.a. 10 seconds
    CloseApplication();
    OpenApplication();
}

If you don't know how to "close" an application, see this related question.
