I need to write a backend job which will read a csv & call a webservice based on some logic. This job should be scheduled to run once daily.
I have written a console application for the logic which is reading a csv file & calling webservice.

Should i create a windows service & copy my code there or

should i use windows scheduler?

I believe it will not be a wise decision to convert the console application to a service....cause service is meant for something else rather than job scheduling....in case you convert the console to a windows service you need to write some custom code to make the windows service run once per day..in this scenario the best option will be using windows scheduler service and point it to the console application rather than creating a windows service. If you have any other requirement or necessity besides the scheduling thing...please let me know...
