Custom Scheduler
In development guide I notice that we should pay attention when creating a scheduler, see below:

"Since the scheduling process runs within the ASP.NET process, it may not be executed if your web site is not running. This happens when the process is recycled without being started again (after a long period of web site inactivity). It means that your scheduled tasks will not be executed in such cases.

If you want to run the scheduling reliably, it's necessary to ensure that your web site is always running. You can do that by using some utility or an external service that requests the home page of your web site on a regular basis."

So, why do I make that external program that make a request to home page periodically? I search anywhere but I cannot find it.

Please help..

RE:Custom Scheduler
Hello.

As for your first question - I believe that application pool recycles all processes (web sites) running in it, so I suppose that scheduler will not works.

As for your second question, we do not have our own software for this purpose, but you can find and use any similar product on the internet, for example

- http://www.sector101.fsnet.co.uk/keepalive/aboutka.html
- http://www.keepaliveforever.com/HowItWorks/tabid/53/Default.aspx

(in general you can google for "keep alive web site" string).
