In my current project there is a need to schedule a method to run at set intervals e.g. once a week, and currently this is done via a windows service creating an HttpClient and

Answer 1

If you need to schedule a background task to run every week, you can use FluentScheduler (NuGet link) to run it for you. You can do something like this:

public class WeeklyRegistry : Registry
{
    public WeeklyRegistry()
    {            
        Schedule().ToRunEvery(1).Weeks(); // run WeeklyTask on a weekly basis           
    }
}

public class WeeklyTask : IJob
{
    public void Execute()
    {            
        // call the method to run weekly here
    }
}

Update The new version of FluentScheduler changed the API slightly. The task should now be derived from IJob, not ITask. Updated my example to reflect this.
