How to implement Windows service kind of infrastructure in ASP.NET

Question

I have limitations to host Windows Services in my web hosting provider. But i need run small task frequently.

Do we have any other framework/api which provides similar infrastructure like "Windows Services" from ASP.NET?

I think it will better if you can use FireDaemon. If you can create a console application, then the filedemon will be able to run it frequently similar to Windows service.

If you are using ASP.NET 4, you can have your app pool always running, then have a timer going, and whenever that time elapses, run your process:

You can start a thread using the Application Start event in the Global.asax to do the scheduled job. It is not as robust solution as a Windows Service but it is good enough in most cases.
