Best way to get an ASP.NET page to work at intervals?

I made this application that takes temporary records from fogbugz and sends them to basecamp, however right now it needs to be started manually. For me there is a requirement to make it work weekly or nightly, what is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Create a scheduled task ?

Answer 2

IMO, the best way is to write a web service that performs the scheduled tasks. And to develop a Windows service that will call your web service depending on your schedule.

Answer 5

++ on the comments of Canavar and gattaca, but I would avoid the background thread question. I heard that sometimes these threads can be recycled, and since your application does not restart, they go into nothing. I could be wrong. In any case, less memory and reliable performance are attributed to the Windows service ... unless you are on a shared host that will not allow you to install the service.
