Hi,

Apologies if this not quite the right forum, but I am looking for
ideas/method of polling a webservice with different parameter values at
different times, the schedule for polling the webservice is coming from a
database.

My initial idea is to run a windows service getting the schedule(s) from a
db but how do I keep track of possible multiple timer events on a daily
basis from within the windows service.  Should I be using MSMQ or another
technology ?

Very grateful for any advice.

Alex

MSMQ would be over kill. I really dont see the problem here. Make a list of
tasks, each with "next time". Make a thread - sleep for 1 minute or whatever
granularity you want, check the list, execute, reupdate time...
