What are my options for Scheduled Tasks and Executables? I want to have an executable that does some data crunching everyday at a certain time of day, but I'm not sure if that's possible. Can I have a scheduled task on Winhost that launches a .net executable?
Scheduled task is a premium feature which is available on Ultimate site plan only. If your site is hosted under a different plan, you will need to upgrade your plan to Ultimate. Scheduled task will make http call to a page on your site at the designated schedule. You can have the asp.net code in this page that will be executed upon calling. Please see this article for more information on scheduled task.
Okay, so I would create something like a webservice that does the data crunching, and have it in a schedule (once I move to ultimate plan) Thanks for your reply
