Delayed Job for ASP.NET to running async code?

Question

Is there a plugin or other to mimic Rails Delayed Job in ASP.NET? What's the best way to run async code or jobs in an ASP.NET application?

Answer 1

asp.net-mvc has async controllers that are used for the main use case for delayed_job (at least how I read it from here, haven't used Rails for a couple years)

Otherwise, asp.net is still .Net, so you can use ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem to just do a fire and forget chunk of code.

Unless there is some specific feature of delayed_job that you are interested in that I am missing....
