I need to run a vb.net or aspx.net file every 10 seconds.

[Steve Jacobs]

Hi,

I need to run a vb.net or aspx.net file every 10 seconds. The Task Scheduler
in Windows 2003 Server can only do it every 1 minute at the minimum, but I
need it every 10 seconds. Is it possible to write a small program in VB.NET
that would run in the background without using much resources, and request a
vb.net or aspx file every 10 seconds? Could you show me how to write such
code? or give me good directions?

Thank you.
Steve.

Hi Steve:

What you need is a Windows service (its like a Unix deamon process). In the
Windows services you could use the System.Threading.Timer class to execute a
method every 10 seconds.

To write a Windows service:

To learn how to use the System.Threading.Timer class:

Hope this helps,
Mujtaba.
