Scheduling a Web App

I am thinking about writing an app that will periodically query someone else's web service, write data obtained to a database and then allow users to view the data. Doing this as a Windows app is trivial. However, if I want this to be a web app, I need some way to get the app to run at the scheduled times to perform the query. Is there some way to schedule a web app to run automatically to do this?

Thanks,

Greg

 

Check out the 'scheduled task' feature under 'Tools & Utilities' in the DiscountASP Control Panel. Without direct access to the server, I've found this is a really hassle free way to accomplish what you're looking for.
