@pravz why do you keep asking about code behind? Is this an ASP.NET application? If so, I think you should probably re-write your question with that information and repost. So far to me this doesn't sound like you are actually running a service. If you want a service to run that way your best bet is to write it into code as previously suggested. If it's just a console app, I would throw it in Scheduled Tasks.

If you really want to accomplish this in a Windows Service, you should setup a System.Threading.Timer object with a callback that confirms your time frames.

The timer can be set to run every 24 hours (86,400 seconds)

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
    // this will start a timer when your service starts
    // the 3rd argument will run DoStuff(object) immediately and again in 24 hours
    timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new System.Threading.TimerCallback(DoStuff), null, 0, 86400 * 1000);
}

Then, in the callback DoStuff check the time, day, etc

public static void DoStuff(object objectState)
{
    DateTime now = DateTime.Now;
    if(now.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Saturday && now.DayOfWeek != DayOfWeek.Sunday)
    {
        // do some stuff
    }
}

You should use window scheduler

See this http://www.sourcedaddy.com/windows-7/scheduling-the-task-scheduler.html If you want to know how

I'm using Quartz.Net in production and I'm pleased with the ease of use and reliability. You could basically let your service run continously but invoke specific tasks within the service configured at schedules of your liking.

Moving the logic into a simple application and invoking it by using a windows scheduled task.

Sorry if I don't understand your question properly but I am assuming that you want to run a scheduled program in Windows. If that is the case I would go for Windows Task Scheduler. It can be found in the control panel.
