Try window Service that can send e-mail after an interval

The other way is to write a console app, and then book a job in the windows scheduler to fire the console app at the appropriate date and time.

So do your research first, figure out if your running on a server core with no GUI, or Server core with minimum GUI or full GUI. If your not running a GUI with a shell to execute the console app, then you need a windows service, which is harder to write.

I just used the above tutorial to write a windows service to do the same thing you want or need to do, and found it more difficult than the article expresses. But it's almost done and so far so good.

thanks. This does seem like a better alternative but I'll reply as soon as I test all and only if it doesn't give me headache. Thanks

I just finished my first production quality version of a windows service including the eventlog dll that is registered to translate the event log messages, and it's self installing as well.

It's like building a car with no windows and you have to test drive it to make sure its works correctly.

Hi,

There are couple of ways to do this things,

1) Using Automated Email Notifications using SQL Server Job Schedular

http://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Automated-Email-Notifications-using-SQL-Server-Job-Schedular.aspx[^]

2) Using Window Service in C#

For that you can create a window service and install it at your server and in your window service you can logically schedule the mails to send

For creating window service refers the following Document

If this helps then please make this post as answered.

Happy Coding
