scheduled task manager question....

Our website will have 2 programs running in the background and I was pointed to the scheduled task manager to get them running. Our programs are written in C#, so is it possible to user the scheduled task manager for them? Can someone give an example?

Thanks,

Rey

 

Are your 2 applications, web applications? If they are you will be able to use the scheduler to call them. The scheduler basically makes a http request to a URL on a regular scheduled basis and therefore enables custom tasks to be executed server side on the web server when that scheduled event occurs.

 

One of the applications connects to an IMAP server, processes incoming email, sends out email and updates a database. I was hoping that I can specify the program with the URL and that the scheduler will execute it. I'm in the process of trying to test it, but it's a little slow for me since I'm trying to get familiar with how to set things up with DiscountAsp.net.
