Schedule a C# class and method

Question

I need to check a daily log file for errors. I have created a C# class with one method that checks the file and sends an e-mail with the answer. I want the system to run this class automatically every night.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The easiest an simplest way would be to employ the Windows Task Scheduler[^] service.

Build your class into a console application, then use the Task Scheduler to schedule it. This can be done using the GUI (Control Panel → Administrative Tools → Task Scheduler), or at the command line using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/At_(Windows)">at</a>[^] or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schtasks">schtasks</a>[^]. The latter is much more flexible.

If you would like to do this programatically, you want to develop a Windows NT Service[^]. This is a much bigger task.
