Calling a method every x minutes

I want to call some method on every 5 minutes. How can I do this?

public class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("*** calling MyMethod *** ");
        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    private MyMethod()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("*** Method is executed at {0} ***", DateTime.Now);
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}

Update .NET 6

For most use cases in dotnet 6+, you should use the PeriodicTimer:

var timer = new PeriodicTimer(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));

while (await timer.WaitForNextTickAsync())
{
    //Business logic
}

This has several advantages, including async / await support, avoiding memory leaks from callbacks, and CancelationToken support
