Timed Application Event (global.asax timers)

[otherside]

Hi there

 

Does anyone knows how to create timed operations on an ASP.NET application?

 

I tried to used a timer object on the global.asax but it seems that the tick event never fires.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Also is there any way to fire an event at a specific time of the day ? every 24 hours ?

 

Thanks

Could you give a bit more detail about what you are tying to do? ASP.Net applications really run in response to client requests - they cannot drive the client.

Of course, not trying to drive the client,

 

i need to send a series of emails every 24 hours to report traffic, registrations, problems etc.

 

Also another reason i need this kind of thing is to synchronize databases between two mirrors of the same website on different servers, every 10 minutes for example.
