A quick question ....

I need to write services in C#. The service should have specific timer which should check in DB and retrieves the date.
For example... In application, the user gives "Remind me after 2 days" In background, after 2 days, I should load the data where the user marked remind me and should display the marked data 1st.

what would be the best method to solve this ???

Solution 1

Step 1: From the web app you need to store the user selected value in DB (2 days).

Step 2: You can create a Windows Service, which will keep on checking the DB, and fires a particular event (when that particular date comes), and may do an insert or update.
