Automated asp.net processes

G

Guy Incognito

Hi everybody,

I'm using Windows 2000 as a web server for asp.net applications. Can
anyone suggest a way that a server could run an automated process that
could create and run a command on an asp.net object?

The reason that I ask is that I have an application that I'm upgrading
from asp to asp.net. This application has an email notification feature
that is run periodically to inform users of updates to the site.

The old application used a COM executable that was triggered weekly by
the server to send the updates. I was wondering if there was a more
elegant solution for the .net version.

The new update feature is already written in .net and is triggered
manually on a web page.

Thanks,
Jason

You can use a WebRequest to do this. However, as this is a task that is to
run on a schedule, don't you think it would be better to write an executable
or WSH script to do the task, and schedule it to run with Task Scheduler?
