Re: How can I set an app to autorun?

Thanks for all the help. I was able to create a .exe file and execute
it through the task scheduler.

I think that Marina was referring to assemblies being executable files so,
although her reference to .exe files is incorrect (in ASP.NET), the principle remains the same.

You should create a batch file which runs whichever program you want to run,
and execute it with Task Scheduler, unless you want to run an executable directly.

See :

Sorry, I do not have very much experience with .net and so did not know
that it compiles to .exe file. When I navigate to the folder that the
application was stored, under the wwwroot folder, I cannot file any
file that has the .exe extention. Do I have to do something to create
the .exe file? Thanks

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.

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
