Refer - Can WCF be auto scheduled?[^].

Quote:
No, WCF cannot be auto-scheduled. You need to implement a Scheduled Task (see Scheduling jobs on windows), a Windows Service with a timer (which you've said you don't want to do, if I understand correctly) or some other application with a timer.

You could start a thread as per the other answer but this relies on your service calling itself - I'd prefer to call it externally, from another process.

A scheduled task can run an executable. You could write a console application that calls your WCF service, logs any result (if necessary) and then completes.

I normally prefer to implement this type of timer through a Windows Service, simply because the Windows Service can be monitored, can log, and can auto-start / auto-restart - install it and it 'just works'. If I didn't want to use a Windows Service then I'd schedule a task.
