Hi there,
I am new in web services and I am not sure it's related to web services.
Is it possible a web application automatically fire a method or event every
hour?
It shouldn't be depend on aspx pages.
Regards,
Monica.
Hey Monica
If Windows Service if forbidden on your side, you can still do it
hopefully by a trick.
ASP.NET Worker process frequently looks for Cache items whether they
expired. You can harness this feature. On Application_Start inside
global.asax, add a dummy cache item using
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Add. In the method signature you will see
the last item is System.Web.Caching.CacheItemRemovedCallback which is
a delegate that gets fired upon expiration of this cache item.
When it is fired, the code you specified in the handler gets executed
and again add the dummy cache item you inserted before. That will do
the trick. It can be like the following:
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Add(dummyKey, "dummy", null,
DateTime.MaxValue, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(60), CacheItemPriority.Normal,
new CacheItemRemovedCallback(CacheItemRemovedCallback));
....
public void CacheItemRemovedCallback(string key, object value,
CacheItemRemovedReason reason)
{
// Code you would like to get executed.
// Add the dummy item to the Cache like above.
}
Hope it helps.
