time. does anyone know how in server 2003 i can tell a process to run an aspx
page. or should i make it a windows app and can you autostart those?

Hello louise,

You can just call the Process.Start with you url and page will be open,
but I'm not sure that opening aspx page this way is a good approach.

As I understand you need to call some business logic at the specific time,
so why not to divide this code from the page and introduce it as service,
so it can be called in background without presentation

Make a regular Windows app and add it to Scheduled Tasks (get there from
your Control Panel).

Re: Run an aspx page automatically

You don't need a process to do that.
You can use Windows Scheduler.

Set up a batch file, everynight.bat, for example, which has this as content :

start http://www.yourserver.com/page.aspx

....and run it at the desired time, daily.

I'd suggest you create a windows service.

Here's more info on windows services:
