Schedule Task

Question

Dear All I am Developing a web application in which I need to run a page each days once  I have received many inputs from the developers some says to use the global.asax file and some says to use timers  but no one can solve the problem because the global.asax execuates every time and if i place my code there then my code runs more than once a day So now i am using the hosting solution provider scheduler jobs option using plesk panel  can anybody tell me that the plesk scheduler can run the code of aspx.page on schedule or not or it can just run javescript.

Dear Manish Kumar Choudhary  i am appologizing for continuoeus questioning but i think that throug this forum I will be able to get the correct answer  actually below is the whole sceniro defined. 1-I have different user in my web application and i have given ten days each user to submit his data if he did not send the data within ten days then an email remainder would be send to him that he did not submitted his dataFor that purpose i wrote a method which checks column (Issubmitted) if it is not true within the ten days then i send an email to that person on starting the question i get many replies that i put my method into global.asax file but the problem is that if the user did not submitted his data and now the days is 11th mean beyond the days limit then each time when the user hits the application the global.asax would be called and if the person hits 100 times 100 times global.asax would be run and 100 emails would be send to that person I just want that this page execautes once a days and if he did not submitted his data then one email would be send to him/her.I am hosting my application on shared hosting so they do not allow me to make a window service on their machine they give me the solution see the attach file in the column Path to an executable file can i give my vb.net page path where my method resides??

Dear Danish Habib actually windows task scheduler will not accept file path it will take *.exe only and in your case you can't use *.exe so create new windows services and schedule your task.
