Hi friends
I don't want close the console application if the user press any key accidentally. The function will be called/Triggered for every 10 sec

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SetTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);
            SetTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
            SetTimer.Enabled = true;
            Console.ReadLine();

        }

        private static void OnTimedEvent(Object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
        {
            SetTimer.Enabled = false;
            MYMethod();
            SetTimer.Enabled = true;
        }

Thanks
Bala

The question makes no sense at all. An application won't be closed "on pressing any key"; there is nothing to prevent.
And your idea to use the timer is such a big abuse...
To get help, you need to explain what you really need to achieve. Forget about, keys, timers, and other technical detail, just explain the purpose.

Try:

C#

static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            SetTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(10000);
            SetTimer.Elapsed += OnTimedEvent;
            SetTimer.Enabled = true;
            string inp;
            do
            {
                inp = Console.ReadLine();
            } while (inp != "Q");
        }
