c# - How to Schedule a task in windows azure worker role -


i have simple azure worker role running performs task every day @ 12 pm. below code accomplishes this.

public override void run() {     try     {         while (true)         {               int time = convert.toint32(datetime.now.timeofday);               if (time == 12)               {                    dosomethingelse();               }         }      }     catch (exception ex)     {         log.add(ex, true);     }             }

here dosomethingelse() method send email @ every day 12 pm, , fires once , once per day.

how can implement scheduler fire when time 12pm , execute dosomethingelse().

my question is: (above code) best method or use 3rd party tool.

there several other questions here deal (and i've marked 1 above). having said that, , @ risk of repeating other answers state:

in case, simple message on windows azure queue, time-delayed not show until noon, work. helps deal multi-instance scenarios: if you're running 2 instances of role, don't want same scheduled task running twice, need way have 1 of instances execute code. handled via queue message, or run scheduler code on single instance using blob lease (which may have 1 write-lock against it) mutex. covered in @smarx's blog post, here.
