Hi
Is it possible to do something like that:
1. there is a file located on my website
2. I would like to start a webservice that copies that file each 24 hours to
a backup dir on the website
3. The webservice should be self running (without a client connection)

Until now, I tried the following stuff, but the timer does not run when i
call the method starttimer! I was thinking that the modal variable mVal will
count up on each timer_tick and the stoptimer returns then the amount of
ticks done. But nothing comes back.

Any idea?? Thanks

1. Builded a webservice containing 2 Methods and 1 Timer
Public mVal As Long

<WebMethod()> _

Public Function StartTimer() As String

Timer1.Interval = 1000

Timer1.Start()

StartTimer = CStr(mVal)

End Function

<WebMethod()> _

Public Function StopTimer() As String

Timer1.Stop()

StopTimer = CStr(mVal)

End Function

Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick

mVal = mVal + 1

End Sub
