You can write a simple console application which send the mail. Schedule this application using Windows scheduler.

Sir; ASP.NET works under IIS which is a web server that recieve http requests and send http reponses but it can't run periodic tasks.

Well there is a technique using cache object expiration where you can get a function of your own to run, search on google for: asp.net cache scheduled task and you can find working code. Good luck. /jc

You could hack it up. But it won't be stable and not recommended for a production system. To do that, start a thread which loops on an infinite loop.

while(true)
{
// process
Thread.Sleep(someTime);
}

This will work but when IIS recycles the ASP.NET process, it will kill this thread. Like I said before, this is not stable. :)
