Hey there

I need to create a timer that fires an event every hour to check a value in my database. I'm not 100% sure of the best way to do this, or where to put the code so it does not interfere with the app in anyway (performance, people browsing the site, etc.) Should I make a new thread and run the code in there? Or maybe a web service can help? I do not have access to the live server, so I cannot make a windows sheduled task, windows service or something else along those lines.

I'm using VB.Net and ASP.Net, with a SQL server db running on a windows platform.

help please !
