    Timers in global.asax

    I am using VS2003 and developing web services. We also need a timed
    activity to be performed on the server. If i drag a timer and place it
    on global.asax, add interval and timer handler. it doesnot work. Is
    there anyone with the answer. How could i achieve this functionality.

      A web application is IMO not well suited for this kind of task. Basically it
      runs when a user hit the server.

      My personal preference would be by far to create a separate application to
      do that. As most often it's best to tell also *waht* you are trying to do.
      For example if this is a DB related task and you are using SQL Server,
      creating a SQL Server scheduled job would be likely much simpler...

          Mubi,

          I recently implemented an application that needed to refresh data from a
          feed every minute and I was going to try to use a timer on it.

          I had the same problem as you, so what I did was, in the begin request even
          handler in the global asax, I updated my data from the feed then put the time
          into an application state variable. on every begin request, if the current
          time was more than a minute on from the one stored in the application state
          variable then it updated the data from the feed and also updated the
          application state variable

          This approach is working for my situation. You probably need to define if
          you need your timed event to run twenty four seven, or is it only required
          when people are accessing the service?
