Hello,
I need to write a routine that get executed every 2 hours independantly in
the backround on my asp.net web application.
How can this be done?


Many thanks in advance

Is this to process a database? Typically this stuff is not done in ASP.NET
but instead in a database procedure or another application running on the
server or client PC.

write a windows service for this or a separate exe. you can write a web
application with a timer which is a global instance, but that requires the
application to always be running for the timer to go off.

If your site is hosted with a public ISP, chances are they will not allow
you to deploy your own Windows services, create SQL Server jobs etc. If this
is the case, System.Threading.Timer instatiated in the Appliction_OnStart
event in Global.asax is pretty much your only option.

Read Tip 6 and get his example code, but basically you create a time in the
Global.aspx page in the application_start event. The example shows using an
HTTPModule, but my experimenting showed it worked just fine with the
application_start.

I was mostly thinking of something like this.
So far it is not possible to call web services inside MS sql server write?
So that is not an option.

So i guess either this solution or a windows service might
be my only choices. We own the hosting environnement so we can always
install just one more app.

Many thanks
