I’ am building some RSS web service in ASP.net (using IIS as the web server). In it I wand to create some king of RSS reader.
I ‘am creating some process that will retrieve the content from the RSS feed every 3 hours.
I want to create a control panel that will give me the ability to start/stop the process, and will have some simple dashboard that will sum the current activity.

I ‘am looking for the best way to do that.

I thought about creating a Windows Service on the server, but there are security issues in starting and stopping the service from a web interface.

What is the right way to do it?

    you could create your service like this

    the current state (start/stop) could be set with a static variable (which is the same for the whole AppDomain) or from a config file (which would be better because it survives a AppDomain restart)
