Re: How can I set an app to autorun?

Thanks Marina,

Anyhow, I learned that the scheduler only run .exe or .bat file. I am
not very familiar with the format of either of those file type. Does
anybody know where I can find examples of running a .net app from these
file? Thanks

Marina's suggestion of using Task Scheduler is to be preferred.

Build a Windows Service application. Windows Service apps run unattended.

The service would use a timer to check the current time. If the current time
is the time you
specified as the start time to execute your code then it will execute.

To build a Windows Service check out the following:

Look also at the "See Also" section at the bottom for how to install a
windows service.

For the timer, take a peek at the Timer class in the System.Timers namespace.

I am planning on creating an application that generate some kind of
report at a set time each day. say midnight. My question is, is there a
way to autorun that application without requiring a hit from user? I
have search around for the solution for a while and the closest I got
was somebody suggesting to use the System.Timer in the global.aspx.

Now I have never use the timer before. Does anybody know how I can set
this up? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
