Is there any clever method out there to make my executeEveryDayMethod() execute once a day, without having to involve the Windows TaskScheduler?
I achieved this by doing the following...
HTH
*edit - code sample in C# :: Note : untested...
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.Timers;
namespace ConsoleApplication2
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Timer t1 = new Timer();
t1.Interval = (1000 * 60 * 20); // 20 minutes...
t1.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(t1_Elapsed);
t1.AutoReset = true;
t1.Start();
Console.ReadLine();
}
static void t1_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
DateTime scheduledRun = DateTime.Today.AddHours(3); // runs today at 3am.
System.IO.FileInfo lastTime = new System.IO.FileInfo(@"C:\lastRunTime.txt");
DateTime lastRan = lastTime.LastWriteTime;
if (DateTime.Now > scheduledRun)
{
TimeSpan sinceLastRun = DateTime.Now - lastRan;
if (sinceLastRun.Hours > 23)
{
doStuff();
// Don't forget to update the file modification date here!!!
}
}
}
static void doStuff()
{
Console.WriteLine("Running the method!");
}
}
}
Take a look at quartz.net. It is a scheduling library for .net.
More specifically take a look here.
