I need to create a Windows service that works just like the task scheduler in that I can configure what time it runs and it basically just calls a .NET class at that scheduled time (recurring). What is the recommended way to do this? Also, any information on installing/removing that service would be appreciated!
Update: Using the task scheduler in not an option (customer requirement, something to do with their IT standards). That was my suggestion to them as well, but it’s not going to work.
Solution: Thanks to everyone for your answers, the Quartz.Net solution especially looks good, however I found the following which has exactly what I need:
You could try the .NET Task Scheduler http://TaskService.Codeplex.com. This project provides the ability to schedule .NET assemblies to run at anytime of the day with different kinds of recurrences like daily, hourly, weekly, every 5 hour or every third day.
