Background job in web site

Hi.

I have a web based application running under IIS7.5 on a server to which I have full access. In this web application the clients can press a button that starts a lengthly job. Now, I want this job to allways finnish - even if the client logs out and closes the browser. I have a thought that the best would be if the button could trigger and run a completely different application on the server that will finish no matter what.

My question is: Is this the way to go and if so - how do you run this application from the web site and how do you pass all the parameters in the best manner. If this is not the way to go - how do you achieve the desired functionality in the best way?

Best regards
RTSol

Thanks guys. I will try out both suggestions. I will put the parameters in a data table and then go from there. Maybe the best is to have a web service and call it when the parameters are in the data table and then put back status indications.

Thanks a lot.
