I am creating a system where users can setup mailings to go out at specific times. Before I being I wanted to get some advice. First, is there already a .Net component that will handle scheduling jobs (either running another application or calling a URL) that will do what I am suggesting (Open Source would be cool)? If there isn’t, is it better to schedule a job in SQL and run some sort of script, create a .Net service that will look at an xml file or db for schedules, or have an application create scheduled tasks? There could be a ton of tasks, so I am thinking creating scheduled tasks or SQL jobs might not be a good idea.
Here may be a typical scenario; a user wants to send a newsletter to their clients. The user creates the newsletter on a Saturday, but doesn’t want it to go out until Monday. The user wants that same e-mail to go out every Monday for a month.
Thanks for looking!
