Hi,

While I realise that this may not be a very nice solution architecturally, I
kick off a Scheduler in an ASP.NET 2.0 webservice in Application_Start()
which is supposed to call a stored proc in a database once a day every day.

The code works on the day that the webservice is deployed, but not on
subsequent days unless I restart IIS.

The code looks like this:

   void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
   {      

      Scheduler sch = new Scheduler();      

   }

   public Scheduler()
   {
           Logger.Write("Initialising scheduler.... " + DateTime.Now,
"ABSPerformance");
           System.Timers.Timer testTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
           testTimer.Enabled = true;
           testTimer.Interval = 60 * 1000;      
       
           testTimer.Elapsed += new
System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(testTimer_Elapsed);

   }

     private void testTimer_Elapsed(object sender,
System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
     {                
             if (!DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.Equals(DayOfWeek.Saturday) &&
!DateTime.Now.DayOfWeek.Equals(DayOfWeek.Sunday))
             {

                 if (DateTime.Now.Hour.Equals(8) &&
DateTime.Now.Minute.Equals(30))
                 {
                     ABSData.executeNonQuery("StructuredCD.sp_ABS_Update",
null);                      
                 }

             }  

     }

Is there a technical reason why I can't use the scheduler in this way, why
it only works on the first day?

As you have probably guessed, I am new to ASP.NET, so any help would be
appreciated.

Many thanks

Rob
