ASP.NET script "planning" question

Question

I am looking for a way to run the script every day at 5am to delete the contents of the Temp folder. The following is the method that I am considering. I would appreciate any thoughts on this or suggestions on other methods. I want to save everything locally, so that external accounts will not be outside of my ASP hosting account at a discount.

• Enter a text file containing the date and time of the next required launch (tomorrow 5:00).
• Specify the value of the Datetime cache expiring after (one hour?)
• When someone gets to the website and the cache expired, reload the datetime into the cache
• If Datetime has passed, run the script as "scheduled" and add 24 hours in DateTime to the file

Your comments are appreciated.

Answer 1

You are on the right track. Here's a good article on how to achieve this.

Also, based on your comment, why not use a session event to clear? In addition, just in case, you can connect to the end of the application.

Answer 2

You can also create a web service to complete the task, and then schedule the task periodically to the web service.

To do this, you must use the scheduled task. If you do not, then you should have some other process that sends the event to the site (perhaps output a web method), which is according to the desired schedule.
