Introduction

Background 

We can perform scheduled job process through our ASP.NET web projects without buying dedicated servers.

Advantage:
1. No need to buying dedicated servers.
2. Perform scheduled job process through our ASP.NET web application. 

Using the code 

As we know the web server IIS is continuously running, we can add a timer in the application and the timer can manage all these activities.   

// Inside Global.ascx
void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Code that runs on application startup
    System.Timers.Timer myTimer = new System.Timers.Timer();
    // Set the Interval to 5 seconds (5000 milliseconds).
    myTimer.Interval = 5000;
    myTimer.AutoReset = true;
    myTimer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(myTimer_Elapsed);
    myTimer.Enabled = true;
}

public void myTimer_Elapsed(object source, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
    // use your mailer code
    clsScheduleMail objScheduleMail = new clsScheduleMail();
    objScheduleMail.SendScheduleMail();
}

// inside your class
 public void SendScheduleMail()
 {
   // Write your send mail code here.
 }
