Send schedule(automatic) emails through ASP.NET web application.
Introduction
In many web application we need to send schedule(automatic) emails and we schedule them.
like:
- Sends emails on a
regular basis
- Send
the message at daily, weekly, monthly or yearly
intervals.
But in a shared host environment you're out of luck for running these kind of application because you don't have access on a shared server.
Background
We can perform scheduled job process through our ASP.NET web projects without buying dedicated servers.
Advantage:
1. No need to buying dedicated servers.
2. Perform scheduled job process through our ASP.NET web application.
Using the code
As we know the web server IIS is continuously running, we can add a timer in the application and the timer can manage all these activities.
// Inside Global.ascx void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs on application startup System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer(); // Set the Interval to 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds). myTimer.Interval = 5000; myTimer.AutoReset = true; myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(myTimer_Elapsed); myTimer.Enabled = true; } public void myTimer_Elapsed(object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e) { // use your mailer code clsScheduleMail objScheduleMail = new clsScheduleMail(); objScheduleMail.SendScheduleMail(); }
// inside your class public void SendScheduleMail() { // Write your send mail code here. }For more details, please refer to the uploaded code.
