.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / September 2006Periodic housekeeping code strategy?
I have a need to run a function on my dot net 2.0 web server every xx minutes forever - whether or not a client is logged on. Anyone have suggestions or examples of good ways to do this? Thanks Bill Use a System.Thread.Timer that gets loaded when the app starts ? Personally due to reasons of the app restarting etc I would make this a seperate service but this may work for you.

See the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase class in the .NET framekwork SDK documentation for information on building a windows service in .NET. It's quite easy. -cd >> I think you are saying that a system.thread.timer will work but you >> prefer something else.

Why is everyone recommending re-inventing this wheel, when the cron daemon -- oops I mean Scheduler service -- is perfectly suited for the task? Are there major security problems with the scheduler service so that no one will use it? > -cd Ok thanks Bill >>> I think you are saying that a system.thread.timer will work but you >>> prefer something else.
