Can you use a Windows Scheduled Task instead? ASP.NET isn't designed for this. — jrummell

I agree with your second comment @jrummell but not the first. If any one searches for the keywords in this question in google, he/she will never get to the other question. You could simply answer redirecting to the other question and the question would be answered. — Fabio Milheiro

@FabioMilheiro, my understanding of SO is that answers that link to other answers are discouraged since that would imply that the questions are the same, even if they are worded differently. — jrummell

i am able to solve th problem using VB Script and windows schedule. please follow the following steps.

Make VB Script like below to call your controller action. give some name like schedule.vbs

Call ScheduleTask() 

Sub ScheduleTask()
On Error Resume Next

Dim objRequest
Dim URL

Set objRequest = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
URL = "http://localhost/controller/action"

objRequest.open "GET", URL , false

objRequest.Send

Set objRequest = Nothing

End Sub

make windows schedule of "schedule.vbs" file as you want. if there is permission problem for execute schedule.vbs file, please give the required permission to it.

thanks

Azure Functions to the rescue! It was designed for exactly this. You can schedule functions using a timer trigger.
