performing scheduled events

[cpopham]

I have not worked with asp .net a whole lot. I am building a asp.net website for customers that will have a calendar of events. They need the application to check the the calendar and when there is an event send out an email the day before to those user that requested a notification of that event. Is there anyway I can get the web server to handle this? If so, how do I get it to check the calendar like at midnight or whenever to send the email if necessary?

Thanks, Chester

You might be better either creating a windows service that will run in the background ratherthan trying to get an ASP.Net application to do this.

I had read about going about it that way last night. Do you know of any examples? I was not able to find any examples, just discussions on using a Windows service and possibly using the Windows service with and ASP .NET Web service to do scheduled maintenance on an ASP .net application.

Thanks,
Chester
