You can also monitor the file as a CacheDependency.

Just load the file as you need it and add it to the cache and monitor
it as a dependency. You can handle the cache remove callback to reload
the file when it changes.

Hi,

I need to create a back ground thread in ASP.Net, but I want it be created
only once.

Here, let me explain.

I have a web application project where the user uploads an excel file. On ce
the file is uploaded and stored on the server, I need to create a thread
which runs in the background and when notified, should open the excel file
and read it's contents.

But, I do not want to create a new thread whenever user requests for the
page and uploads a new excel file. I want it to be created only once and
running in the background, and called when required.

Can any one throw some light on this problem.

Thank you.
