Question about autorun some code.

[lichaoir]

I'm writing a log system for my website. I want to run some
functionality everyday, let's say, read some data from files and store
it into database. How do I implement this? Someone had told me to use
the system service, is there any other way? Shall I use global.asax
and System.Threading.Timer?

Thanks for your discussions and answers!

Web applications run in response to user requests. They are not good for
automatic tasks.The simplest way is to make a scheduled task in windows. It
could be a batch file or an exe, console or windows forms. Windows provides
all scheduling.
