simple service to call a web page

[Guest]

I need to create a simple service to call a web page once a day at 4:00 AM. I
know this has to be a no brainer for most of you, but for me i don't know
where to start. I have vs2k5 and it will run on a 2003 server. I'd perfer not
to use a batch file and the windows scheduler, but if this is the route to go
i will.

This page has sample code to do an HTTP GET (your web request) as well
as code that creates a simple windows service.
