Windows Service Vs Console Application in Windows Tasks Scheduler.

[zohaib82]

Hi,

I want to know Advantages and Disadvantages of Windows Service and Console Application in Windows Tasks Scheduler.

I have developed Console application in C# and run on specific time using Windows Tasks Scheduler.

I have developed Windows Service application in C# and run on specific time.

I want to know which one is better and why?

- Thanks
Zohaib.

I do agree that there are numerous ways to skin a cat, but the principle is that you should develeop the right tool for the right job
