Periodic housekeeping code strategy?I have a need to run a function on my dot net 2.0 web server every xx
minutes forever - whether or not a client is logged on. Anyone have suggestions or examples of good ways to do this? Thanks Bill Use a System.Thread.Timer that gets loaded when the app starts ? Personally
due to reasons of the app restarting etc I would make this a seperate service but this may work for you.

something else.

but I am not how I can hook to my Web server code - if at all I need to run MyFunction() and although it would be easy for me to clone it in the Windows Service I would prefer to call the original if possible so I don't have another thing to compile each time I change the server code Is my .net web server code always accessible - is any of it always running or is it essentially dead untill activated by a web client?
