It depends on the action itself. Ex:
- SQL Server: Schedule a job in SQL Server Agent (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191439.aspx[^], SQL Agent: A Job Scheduler Framework[^])
- Using a scheduler service (A New Task Scheduler Class Library for .NET[^], http://kodethoughts.blogspot.fr/2009/06/creating-windows-task-scheduler-service.html[^] )
- Using the system task scheduler: http://taskscheduler.codeplex.com/[^]

So if your purposes does not fit in the scope of these approaches, please elaborate your question a little more.

Try Task Scheduler Managed Wrapper[^]. This library will surely fulfill all your needs regarding Scheduled Jobs.

Windows Service[^] is an alternative for similar stuff.
Refer more: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/d56de412(VS.80).aspx[^]

Here are some articles which shows:
Sending Automated Emails asynchronously using a C# Windows Service in conjunction with Database Email records – Part I[^]
Sending Automated Emails asynchronously using a C# Windows Service in conjunction with Database Email records PART – II[^]

Alternatively, you may use Task Scheduler (Windows)[^]
A comparison about Task Scheduler vs Windows Service[^]

BTW found a nice article in CP
Simulate a Windows Service using ASP.NET to run scheduled jobs[^]

Thanks all for your solutions I got a mixed one from all by creating a windows service and adding a timer to that once, and i am calling the function on elapsed event of that timer, this one i found it from http://www.aspfree.com/c/a/C-Sharp/Timer-Objects-in-Windows-Services-with-C-sharp-dot-NET/[^] here, really a good explanation and more over easy solution
Thanks all
