Hi,

I have a web application that allows the user to see a project details and to change the project status (there are 5 status options).
I need to create a scheduler that will run every day and check this condition:
if no one changed the project status for the last 3 months, send email to x,y,z.
I know what code to use to check the status and send emails with vb.net, but I have no idea how to do it in a way that it will open by itself automaticaly (with a scheduler I guess), every day at the same time and will send the emails if the condition above applies..

can you help??

thanx!

Why don't you use the Windows Task Scheduler[^] for the purpose?

Solution 1

I would create a simple console application doing the work, and use the Windows task Scheduler to schedule its execution.
