Run a Windows Service on IIS

Question

I want to run a service, like Windows Service that will run every hour on IIS. I do not want to use the service locally on my machine as it would dependent on the machine being keep on for the service to work. Is there a way to achieve this? I have tried to find a solution but could not find a clear answer.

Answer 1

A windows service and an IIS application are different. It sounds like you want to run a recurring task for your website, for that I would recommend something like hangfire or quartz.net . Both offer persistence options so that they can run even if the application is restarted or recycled.
