Just like we have setInterval() in JavaScript, .NET 8 provides a very helpful interface known as IHostedService in order ...

Nice.
Thanks!!
Nice tutorial. Did you consider using Quartz.NET?
Thank you!!!
And no, I have not given Quartz a shot yet.
Do you recommend using it? :)
It is quite popular for a long time, I know it from enterprise Java world. Personally, I prefer minimalism whenever it is enough (like with Timer), Quartz is really an enterprise way how to schedule something :D, just a taste of configuration expressions:
0 0 6,19 ? * * = 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM every day.
0 0/30 8-10 ? * * = 8:00, 8:30, 9:00, 9:30, 10:00 and 10:30 every day.
0 0 9-17 * * MON-FRI = on the hour nine-to-five weekdays.
It could be a good topic for another article though.
Awesome!!! I need to give it a try now, very clean syntax, like cron jobs. Thanks again.
Nice
Thank you :)
Good topic
Thank you Abhay!!
Can we run this on a recurring basis, specifically every Monday at midnight?
Hello Mihir,
This Interface should solve your issue of running some logic on recurring manner.
But as far as this code goes, you cannot specify the day and time directly.
For example,
I cannot tell the code that, please run the DoWork logic specifically on Monday at 12AM IST.
Instead,
I can add the Timer Due Period as,
new Timer(DoWork, null, TimeSpan.Zero, TimeSpan.FromDays(7));This will run every 7 days immediately after you deploy it.
Although, here you will need to deploy it on Monday 12AM, so that it will run recurrently every 7 days.
You can also add offset time as,
new Timer(DoWork, null, TimeSpan.FromHours(5), TimeSpan.FromDays(7));So, you can deploy it 5 hours before 12 AM and then it will keep running it after every 7 Days.
You can always create a custom TimeSpan event by subtracting the current time with your desired time, i.e. Monday 12AM logically.
Please feel free to experiment more with examples to get your desired output.
Hope this helps!!!
