Timer in mvc4?

Option 1: Using Timer Class

// The callback, no inside the method used above.

// This will run every 24 hours.

System.Threading.Timer timer = new System.Threading.Timer(new TimerCallback(TimerElapsed), null, new Timespan(0), new Timespan(24, 0, 0));

private void TimerElapsed(object o)

{

// Do stuff.

}

Here it executes for 24 hour interval, you can change as per your requirement. You need to put above code inside your controller.

Option 2: Using Javascript setInterval
