Timer vs. Cron Jobs

M

Mr. T

Hi,

I want to run programs on the webserver (I use a provider) at regular
intervals. Is it possible to have a webform timer control do that or do I
need a cron job in any case?

Thanks,

Oliver

cron job == unix != .net :)

but apart from that, it IS possible to start a timer in Global.asax
(on application start), that regularly calls a method (timer-event handler)
in that same file. What you there is up to you ...
