Jon Seigel You really want to make a. NET process that sits in memory, all day, and does something at midnight? Why exactly can't you, upon installing your tool, set up a system event that fires at midnight or some other configurable time that starts up your app, does its thing, then goes away?
I know I'd be a bit pissed if I found out I had a managed service consuming megs of memory, running all the time, that does nothing except once a day. Add a comment. Active Oldest Votes.

Kibbee: maybe if the service isn't running at midnight for whatever reason , then you might want to execute the task as soon as the service is running again. Then you should add some code in the start-up of the service to figure out if you should run right away, because the service wasn't running, and it should be. You shouldn't be checking every 10 minutes continuously. Check if you should run on startup, and then if not figure out the next time to run. Kibbee: yes I agree it's a minor detail we're discussing.

My rule of thumb would be if you need something that runs every five minutes and you dont care what time it runs or how long a run takes or something that responds to events, use a service. If you need something to run at a particular time each day and you are sure that there will not be an over lap, use the Scheduler provided with the OS.
If you need a hybrid, either use both solutions for the varying cases or find something off the shelf. Possibly Quartz. Net ". I suggest that the comments also be read because the discussion still continues till today and provide some good counter-arguments as well. Personally, I agree with my colleague on this one. Keep it simple for as long as possible. And if you are deploying to Win server, check out the Task scheduler and all the features the standard scheduler offers.
For me, the killer was to start a scheduled task when an event occurs. Services are either used for administrative purposes or to offer a service to multiple applications. Schedules are used for running a task multiple times which don't necessarily require extra permissions. I've heard the arguments for using Windows Scheduler but have always opted for writting my app as a service. At first I thought it would be a better solution in a clustered environment but that's not really true.
