Answer 1

There is a service FREE called A Trigger, where you register and can schedule calls to a Webservice. You can schedule directly through the control panel of your own website or use a library that gives you the same features programmatically. You can, by code, schedule, pause and cancel call schedules to your web service. Here’s an example of how to schedule via C code#:

Download the library via nuget:

Install-Package ATrigger

---

Configure the routine call:

using ATriggerLib;

....
ATrigger.Initialize("YOUR_APIKey", "YOUR_APISecret"); // obtenha a APIKEY e o APISecret se cadastrando no site
// crie um dicionário com tags que serão usadas para identificar o seu serviço,
Dictionary<string, string> tags = new Dictionary<string, string>();
tags.Add("type", "teste");

// configura a chamada da rotina uma vez ao dia
ATrigger.Client.doCreate(TimeQuantity.Day(), "1", "http://www.examplo.com.br/rotina?algumacoisa", tags);

If you want to stop scheduling the call, use:

ATrigger.Client.doDelete(tags);

Or to only pause/resume scheduling:

 // pausar
 ATrigger.Client.doPause(tags);
 // retomar
 ATrigger.Client.doResume(tags);

It is not advisable to schedule tasks within an ASP.NET application.

Appdomain can be recycled at any time, and when it does, all threads that are not connected to a request processing will be aborted. In other words, your scheduled task can be aborted at any time, resulting in errors and inconsistent status.

I advise creating a new application console, and then using the Windows Task Scheduler to choose the peripherality/frequency with which it should be invoked.
