Question

I would like to create an auto email distributor application by C# for my company.
Usually, I would create a console application and set up a schedule to run this program from server task scheduler.
Is there any ways to build this kind of application other than console application? And what is the benefit of it compared to console application.

Answer 1

It can be done with every application type. Asp.net\Silverlight\WCF\WPF\WinForm…

Console Application is the easiest way because

• It doesn’t have a UI layer(or almost doesn’t have…).
• No configurations are required.
