Email Schduler

[cyberdeminout]

I am working on email scheduler. The user would be able to schedule emails at certain times to run through the day,week,month with time. Scheduler continuously run in the system and sends email alerts for that time.

Any ideas how to send emails for the exact time.

for example:
Email1 should go at 7/15/2006 9:01:00 AM
Email2 should go at 7/15/2006 10:01:00 AM
Email3 should go at 7/15/2006 10:01:00 AM
Email4 should go at 7/15/2006 10:03:00 AM
Email5 should go at 7/15/2006 10:04:00 AM
Email6 should go at 7/15/2006 10:06:00 AM
Email7 should go at 7/15/2006 10:10:00 AM
Email8 should go at 7/15/2006 10:24:00 AM

Any help grealy appreicated.
Thanks

You'll be best off using a windows service for this. Check out the VB.NET forum (forum796) if you get stuck.

another option would be to use threading in ASP.NET itself.

you could startup a thread in Global.ASAX's Application_OnStart event. This thread could run every XXX seconds.

However it will be very similar to windows services. only advantage being that this i think is the only way possible when it comes to shared hosting...

Known is handfull, Unknown is worldfull
