Hi Guys,

I have requirement i have to remind people that their licence is expiring in next 2 months.
While creating the profile i record their certifiate expiry date, users may be around 1000 +.

* Every week once system should get the list of users who's licence is expiring and send email to each user.

How should the server trigger that event of gathering the list and then send the email ? ( No using sql server to send emails )

While answering consider that i have to host the application on shared server or may be virtual server using some hosting plan.

Thanks

You just need a simple Windows Service.

Host in on your webserver and it will get activated as configured. Based on the configured time, the schedule items would get exectued. In your schedule, get the email content and Id's and sent it to the needed people.

I believe making a windows schedular service can suffice the need...

Not all ISP will allow you to install a windows service, particularly on a shared server (budget hosting!)

I use discount asp.net for my hosting, that allows me to create a scheduled task to hit a particular URL at a certain interval.

I'd just design a page that queries the database & perform the email routine, deploy the page & have the task poll the URL every week.

It depends who you're going to use for your hosting & what access to scheduling you have.
