Is there a way to have a method within a controller class run at a set interval (such as every 30 minutes) without needing the user to interact with the app (so the method is basically timed)?
The particular event I'm looking to have happen is to have my MVC app refresh data from a data connection (ODBC) and thus update both a view in the application and also the SQL database behind the MVC application with any new data that is read from the ODBc
connection (My app works with two separate databases).
Is there a way to have a method within a controller class run at a set interval (such as every 30 minutes) without needing the user to interact with the app (so the method is basically timed)?
You could use Timer class:
public static System.Timers.Timer timer = new System.Timers.Timer(60000); // This will raise the event every one minute.
timer.Enabled = true;
timer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
static void timer_Elapsed(object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
// Do Your Stuff
}
