I was busy during last few months and can not spare time for my blog. However during my project i came up with a situation that I have to send emails on daily basis through system. I would like to share the different approaches which I found during my goggling.
I came across three options to accomplish this:-
1- Create a simple .exe file which sends the mails and add it in windows scheduled tasks.

2- Create a Window Service, which sleeps for 24 hours after sending emails.

3- Create a JOB in Sql Server. For details see:

Zeeshan, there is another way if you want this type of CRON job in asp.net using Cache Item Callback. See it here http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/ASPNETService.aspx
