Constant timer in asp.net
-
Could not understand what actually you require. But as I understood, whenever your application starts or accessed or whatever event as per your requirement, make some entry in database then you can create a console application which checkes the DB and read the entries and accordingly can send the mail. And then you need to schedule this exe file using windows schedular on daily. So you exe will run daily and will be checking the db and accordingly will send the mail..

Thanks alot for your answers! I forgot to say, that my application will run on my webhost, and therefore not on my own asp.net server. So I guess the windows scheduler solution cant solve my problem :(

Why? You just make some entry in database according to your requirement to send the mail. Create new console application which reads the databse and send the mail accordingly. Now schedule it with windows schedular on daily basis. you exe will run and checks the DB and send the mail accordingly.. I have implemented this kind of functionality.. Are you looking for something else?

Where would that console application be running from? I most likely cannot execute it on my webhost. If I execute it locally, it would require that my "home computer" would be turned on, and thats not the solution I am looking for. So every functionality should be going on in an application on my webhost. Thanks :)

You need to run it on your webserver/database server or on some machine that is tha is always running and have access to database to read the information.

When the page loads or any event occured of your application then take current date and time store it in your database. Then after 24 hrs you can send email. Hope this may help u........... :)
if your site is hosted on server then you can create window service and If your database and site hosted on same server and if you have access of SA of site then you can run sql job as well for this. Hope this will help you. :)

What he means is, its a paid for web host, not his own server, and I wouldn't expect them to allow windows services to be installed by anyone, hence the problem.
