Hi, I want to write my own keep alive module for my ASP.NET apps so that the first user after the app fell asleep won't have to wait forever. I don't know where to begin. I'm aware of similar solutions out there but I want to write my own -- because I need
one also I want to learn what's involved in creating my own keep alive. I'd like my KeepAlive to be a web app of its own. I want to register the URL of my other asp.net apps in its database and I want it to keep them alive by sending periodic requests to those
apps. I'd appreciate some pointers on how to write this app.
ehorn, Thanks for your response. I just looked at that article and got some ideas from it. What I want to do is actually a little different. Paul Wilson's DLL keeps the web site its associated with alive. What I want to do is one app that keeps multiple sites
alive. I'd like to keep a list of apps in a database and the KeepAlive app sends a request to all those sites I defined periodically.
the default application pool settings dictate that an application that has been idle for 20 minutes will shut down. 20 minutes is also the default session timeout. therefore, if you do not adjust the app pool, the application will end as the last session ends.
why not just increase the defaul app pools setting for the application idle time? or create another app pool with a higher value and set you app to use the new pool?
