Starting with reminders trought ASP.net

Question

I need to check daily if there is some people late on there task, and send them emails if they are... what do i choose ? none of these seem made for that.

Answer 1

I used a background process, it's a thread that launch the function that sends reminder emails if necessary, then sleeps for 24h, hope it's good.

In Global.asax :

public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Thread backGroundProcess = new Thread(BoucleInfini);
        backGroundProcess.Start();
    }
}

The thread :

    protected void BoucleInfini()
    {
        while (0==0)
        {
            BLL.Rappel.RetardCheckUp(System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/_inc/courriels"));

            Thread.Sleep(1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
        }
    }

Using web site mason gave me : http://www.hanselman.com/blog/HowToRunBackgroundTasksInASPNET.aspx

EDIT

This is wrong...

Just use windows task scheduler, it's on almost every windows servers.
