Hi there.
I searched in every site for this issue, but i could not find any thing as well.

Think about this: I want to post a mail at specific time, like 21 Sep 2012 in asp.net.

Some user helped me to use windows service, but this one need a dedicated host. Some of the other user took me use web service and set timer for that, but when windows shutdown, every trigger is reset. What can i do for this issue?

Thanks for your answers, and excuse me for my bad English language.

You can use a background process like windows service and run it on your dedicated host. Regarding the mails to send on a specific date, you can either save the schedule on a file or on a database in which the process will check every seconds (depends on your timer configuration).
