I am developing a project where i need to send Message/SMS automatically by fetching the data from database.

I am able to send messages by selecting or clicking the button from asp.net page but the messages should be send even i would't login the page.

Actually its a Schedule that i need to send when the date matches.

Sounds like a job for the task scheduler not your website.

See my past answer - Timer control in asp.net[^].

Quote:
For sending mails, you can create Console Application and add that to the Windows Task Scheduler.
You can select the Date and Time when to start and also set the repetition frequency.

It would automatically trigger, when the time interval is reached and repeat itself.

ASP.Net is not the right tool to do this because code does not run all the time. It only runs when someone visits a page.

You'll want to create a windows app, console app, or windows service to do this.
