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.

I have no idea what a aspx.net file is but I asume you mean *.aspx file...
does'nt really matter, you want to run a file.

You can create a Windows Forms application that runs in the background. The
easiest way to do this (with my knowledges) is I guess to hide the Form ..
but I'm sure there are better ways in terms on program design though.. I
mean trying to have things as a tray thing or stuff like that.

Anyways....

You can use a Timer Control and if you set the Interval to be 10 seconds and
then in the Timer_Tick event you call the file. I have'nt called an external
file in VB:NET yet but in VB6 it was "Call Shell [path to file]"

Lars,

Dim p As New Process
Dim pi As New ProcessStartInf o
pi.FileName = "http://msdn.microsoft. com"
p.StartInfo = pi
p.Start(pi)

However do you see the fun when that starts every 10 seconds.
