Scheduling design

Hi there,

I'm building an application that will run various reports according to given schedules.

My question is - what is the best way to implement a scheduler ?
The ideas I came up with were :

1) Creating a service for the application
2) Using windows scheduled tasks
3) Minimizing the application to the notification area in the bottom-right of the taskbar , and let it just sit in the memory and run the reports on its own.


I'm not sure if these ideas are any good.. it's just what I came up with.


Thanks.

I'd go with the Windows Scheduler. Not only is it built into the operating system (which means you don't need to spend the time to figure out the logic and implementation of getting your own timer, which will save you time and LOC), but it will change for things like Daylight Savings and time zones.
