Main thread of application is doing some work.
There also exists a timer, which should every 10 minutes call some method which should run asynchronous.
Could you please give me a good example how to organize this?

I would not recommend using an explicit thread with a loop and sleep. It’s bad practice and ugly. There are timer classes for this purpose:
If this is not a GUI app, then you can use System.Threading.Timer to execute code on a different thread periodically.
If this is a WinForms/WPF app take a look at System.Windows.Forms.Timer and System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer respectively. These are handy because they execute their code on the GUI thread, thus not needing explicit
Invokecalls.The links also contain examples for each one.
