What is the nature of tasks you are looking to run? If you are looking to run IO bound tasks then you may want to check out AsyncPages in ASP.NET: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/cc163725.aspx — Abhijeet Patel, Oct 06 '09 at 05:01

Personally I find that particular bit of code a ghastly hack. Anyways you can send code via your c# code using the System.Net.Mail.MailMessage class (example code in link). Just put it in the appropriate CacheExpiration method with a timeout of 60*60*24.

I'd recommend looking at some of the answers in How might I schedule a C# Windows Service to perform a task daily? for other ways of handling daily tasks.

As an aside, I can't speak for anyone else but I'm usually tempted to just skip over any question that ends in "Plz help me guys..."

Funny, I'm always tempted to skip over answers that end with "As an aside". – xr280xr Dec 13 '13 at 13:46

If you want to do that with the same concept as described in the blog , you can use the extension

Implement the abstract class AbstractScheduledTask eg

 public class EmailTestTask : AbstractScheduledTask

then write your code inside the Execute method . you can call the static class like this to run EmailTestTask's Execute method after 10 min

ScheduleUtilityFactory.AddScheduleTaskToBatch(new EmailTestTask(DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(10), " RUN AFTER 10 MIN "));
