How a web application C# code keeps on running a while loop for every minute?
Hi
I built a web application to send email at regular time. Now, I use a windows service to check whether there is new email needs to be sent for every minute. So, it has a web application for me to input email address, email content, datetime to send AND a windows service program to have a timer to check MSSQL regularly to send email.
Now, I want to combine them into one web or desktop application. How can the while loop in C# code can execute code for every minute?
Thanks for advice.

I had existing windows service program to send email. However, it is inconvenient to distribute to users as it will take much support work. So, I want to combine the client interface with the windows service program. When the user execute the program, it will run.
using System.Timers; is it for desktop application?
how about web application? how can i do it ?
while (600000) //for each minute
{
execute the mail code
}

In code-Behind put your code in pageLoad section
A windows service cannot have user interface.
You can probably build a windows application for modifying email addresses and use the existing windows service for sending mails.
Because as I said if you are integrating mailing part with mail updating part into a windows application then an user has to be logged into the machine and make sure that the application is open so that it sends mail in regular interval

What I would suggest is have a table where you have the mail ids of users to whom mail has to be sent. Change your web application to update this table (add/remove mail ids) Your windows service should be checking this data at regular interval and sent mail.
Instead of windows service you can also create a console application that sents mail to the configured users. You can schedule this application to run in regular interval. This way you can avoid creating a windows service and the timer logics
