they way see can either have windows service application uses timers poll time. thats it. need both application working; windows service host, sitting in background, , using timer tick every 5 minutes. there no need discuss 1 needed need both.

the other option write console application , set run scheduled task; every 5 minutes. easy set up.

these 2 approaches equivalent.
