Hi There,
I need to develop a Windows service which runs on a daily basis and
it's purpose is to scan a bunch of tables and get some alert messages
and format them into an html document and send them to the subscribed
users? Suppose I have some alerts for a client, I need to display the
name of the client as an anchor link which when clicked shud take the
user to the actual information? I have no clue abt the windows services
and was wondering whether I need to use any third party tool to do that
along witht the windows app?
Can anybody get back to me please with the implementation details?
Thanks a lot.

You don't need a Windows service to do that. Just write an EXE and use the
Windows scheduler to run it a certain times of the day/week/month or whatever
you need.
