that's not good idea to execute a code of web service after every 5 mints..
one thing i don't understand that what you want to try to execute in web service...
its for use to provide service on the request not automatically...

you can go for windows service for continuous execution of your code....

Hi there,

The web service isn't a good place to do a timer. If there's work to do every 5 minutes, the web service is good to read the result or progress of that work, but not a good host for the work.

Your best bet is to go with a service (steeper learning curve) or a simple console app (easiest). The console app could be put into Windows Task Scheduler and called every x minutes to do its work.

The approach there would be that you would use a data store (such as SQL server) where you would put your results. The web service would read from those results.

Hope this helps you get moving in the right direction.

Cheers.
