I will like to know is there a way I could create a scheduled task. Like lets say each day at 6 pm I will like to check the database for new entries and send an email notification.

This is the "best practice" method shown in the BUILD 2012 Conference last week: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc725745.aspx

There are a few cloud service/IaaS videos that talk about this.

  • This won't necessarily work well in Windows Azure, as you typically want a scheduled task running only once. If you configure this on a per-machine basis, you'll have multiple schedulers running. You need to create a single-instance scheduler (typically using a blob lease to facilitate a mutex across instances). – David Makogon Nov 11 '12 at 20:09
