Answer 1

i would setup a Timer Method in the global.asax, which then can do the cleanup operations.

Therefor you add the following code to the Application_Start:

Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

‘–Save Translations every 15minutes, starting 15sec after appstart
Dim TimerDelegate As Threading.TimerCallback = AddressOf Manager.DoWork

Dim MyTimer As Threading.Timer = New Threading.Timer(TimerDelegate, Nothing, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(15), TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10))

End Sub

and implement a e.g. Manager with the Worker-Method:
Manager.vb:

public shared sub DoWork()

‘–Dow the work…

end sub
