Hi,

I have a ASP.NET WebApplication. I want to do a
certain task every monday say 8.00 AM. Is there any
schedulder controls or any other controls like it that I
can use?

Thanks,
Senthil

Hi,
Put a Windows Scheduler Service. Hope that solves your
problem. .Net facilitates in creating our own custom
windows services. If you need any info on that, i will
help you on this.

thanks

Hi Senthil,
srinivas post is very good but if you don't have a dedicated server you
can't do it.
The alternative is to make the task as web page (ie.ASP or ASP.NET page)
and make new scheduled tasks in local computer to intiate this page by
making a small application that request it or even use internet explorer
(try Start-->run-->iexplore Microsoft.com ).

Hope that help

ASP.NET pages aren't designed to do that kind of thing.
Instead I'd suggest creating a Windows Service.
Here's more information on Windows Services:

from what Senthil is describing it sounds like a console app + Windows Task
Scheduler might be worth looking into (simpler also, i would think). agree
it definitely doesnt sound like a job for ASP.NET.

Hi Steve,
My solution for the guys who can't install a windows service or can't
work with the server Scheduled tasks because they reserved only a web site
(virtual hosting)

Thanks
