I have a database table (a schedule) which maps datetime
to some action. What is the best way to implement a windows service which can perform those actions on specified time? The only thing that comes to mind is to query table from the service with some interval, but I think that there is more proper way. Do you have any ideas on how to do that?

what exactly do you want to achieve with your schedule? – Obl Tobl Oct 22 '13 at 12:34

@unlimit The schedule is being filled by another application. And there is a requirement not to use integrated scheduler. – Qué Padre Oct 22 '13 at 12:53

What about using Quartz .NET? It could be a possible solution :
Quartz.NET is a full-featured, open source job scheduling system that can be used from smallest apps to large scale enterprise systems.
Here's the feature page and a tutorial.
