Re: How can I set an app to autorun?

A .net application is an executable. It compiles to a .exe.

What do you think a .net application compiles to?

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.

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
have search around for the solution for a while and the closest I

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
