MessageBox continuous popup in C # WinForm

Question

This is my code:

private void btnReminder_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    timer2.Start();
}

private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime Date = DateTimePickerReminderDate.Value;
    DateTime Time = DateTimePickerReminderTime.Value;
    if (DateTime.Now.CompareTo(Date) > 0 && DateTime.Now.CompareTo(Time) > 0) 
    {
        Date = DateTime.MaxValue;
        Time = DateTime.MaxValue; 
        MessageBox.Show("Your Reminder");

        timer2.Stop();     
    }
}   

When I set a reminder, it works as expected and displays the message at the right time. But the problem is that it constantly gives a popup with a message. I tried to clear this error, but I was unsuccessful. Right now you need expert advice, so please help me fix this error.

MessageBoxwill block your UI thread during display, and you will not reach timer.Stop()before clicking the dialog. Try to stop the timer until you show your MessageBox:

private void timer2_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    DateTime Date = DateTimePickerReminderDate.Value;
    DateTime Time = DateTimePickerReminderTime.Value;
    if (DateTime.Now.CompareTo(Date) > 0 && DateTime.Now.CompareTo(Time) > 0) 
    {
        timer2.Stop();     

        Date = DateTime.MaxValue;
        Time = DateTime.MaxValue; 
        MessageBox.Show("Your Reminder");
    }
}
