I have created a httpModule for my Web Application which basically is triggered by a timer on specific schedules, it runs fine and the method I want is invoked after I publish it in IIS but what happens if there is no request it seems like the Web Application stops to a stand still making any scheduled events not to run, It will only run again only if I make a new request. What am I doing wrong? Can I make my website not sleep so that during times where there is no request the schduled httpModule would run as required? I hope I made this clear.

You should check you Application Pool setting there to make sure it does not recycle the working process

EDIT Not sure what version is your IIS, but take IIS7.5 as an example, in the advanced setting of an application pool, there is a setting named like 'Idle Time-out(minutes)' which means after your application idle for that time it will be shut down, also a setting named as Regular Time Interval(minutes) in Recycling section, says it means Period of time the pool will be recycled.

  • it is set to 1740 minutes which is 29 hours, do you think when it recycles it just waits for the next request for the application to become active again? – Raymund Oct 17 '12 at 03:30

    so how about the setting 'Idle Time-out(minutes)' ? Recycle may just may your application rerun, but timeout make it kills that process I think – Simon Wang Oct 17 '12 at 04:00
  • Its set to 20 minutes, will increase that and will let you know if it works. Thanks for your help so far – Raymund Oct 17 '12 at 19:53
