Global Timer in Asp.net

Question

I would like to have a timer for an ASP.net application that will kick off every Sunday night and perform something (update a table in the database). However, I really don't want to write up a service that has to be deployed on the server in addition to the web application. Is there a way to accomplish this easily? Perhaps using a Global.asax file?

Answer 1

It seems that the best solution was to use this technique. If I had more control over the server I would probably write up a console app to take advantage of scheduled tasks.
