Hi all,
I am thinking of creating an extra feature into a derivative taskvision app to send reminder emails out to task assignees when the 'complete by' date is almost up.
Basically I am looking for some pointers on how to approach designing/coding this...my first thought is a windows service to poll the database once a day and find incomplete tasks that are almost up and send emails to the assignees...is a windows service the way to go or have I got the wrong end of the stick
Thanks,
Paul

task notification service?

The amount of code required is only about 20 or so lines to your global.asax and you can use the existing TaskVision business objects to get any information for sending the emails.

Also, I would like to see something that sends out an email to the assignee if the person making the new task/task change is not the assignee himself. This way, the assignee knows about the change without having to have the application open.
TIA,
Chris
