We have a WCF service, hosted on IIS7.5, that has to fetch some data from an external web service.
Is there some way to schedule this action to be started, in our WCF service, on a regular (timed) basis?
Thanks

Yes, create a Windows service which wakes up every x minutes or hours and makes the call.
The WCF service is not “always on” – it is typically only created when a request comes in and needs to be handled. But you would typically host your WCF service in either IIS, or self-host – which usually already means a Windows Service anyway.
