sj1187534 Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 Hi....I was wondering if there is any way to run a specific program periodically. I am planning to merge data from multiple number of files into a specific file and this has to happen everyday at sometime. How do you think I can approach this? Thanks. SJ Quote
bungpeng Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 I don't think you want to do it in ASP.NET,right? You can write a small C# or VB.Net application to handle your merge data process, then use Windows "Scheduled Task" to set this program run periodically. Or you can add a "Timer" in your program, then manually program your schedule task. Or you want want to build a Windows Service to run this process and install it in your server. MS.NET let you build your Windows Service very easily. Quote

sj1187534 Posted April 19, 2004 Author Posted April 19, 2004 No..It is not at all concerned with SQL server. I am just trying to merge some text files into a single file periodically. SJ Quote
Arch4ngel Posted April 19, 2004 Posted April 19, 2004 Make a program that do the update and put it in the Scheduled Task. That's it.
