scheduled task in c#

Question

I have a date and time in code, that i want to invoke a specific method. This date and time also might be recurrence. I will run this on IIS server if that's matter.

Is there a way in C# to do it?

The simplest solution is to create a console application and schedule it using the Windows Task scheduler. Why reinvent the wheel? — Heinzi, Feb 16 '12 at 16:05

Take a look at Quartz.net

I think you would probably need to break your code out into a service of some kind. Running scheduled task isn't what IIS is meant for.

Another tool is Visual Cron. I have used this in a production environment and it works great! http://www.visualcron.com/

You might want a Timer, the ElapsedEventHandler can call functions for you, and they can be set up to reoccur.
