Scheduled Events in ASP.NET?

Question

My website needs to somehow do something every few minutes.

Essentially I get projects from another website. I then call one of my web pages and update.

Currently I'm making a console app for this but I'm wondering if there is a better way.

Thanks

There are super cool, open source tool exist for creating a scheduled jobs in .NET
It called Quartz.NET. I think currently is #1 tool for that tasks.

Use windows task scheduler to run the console app your writing at the appropriate times.

This is the way I'm doing it, too. Could not imagine a better way. – Uwe Keim Feb 01 '13 at 19:30

Depending on what needs to be done, there are a few options.

This can be achieved by a timer in a windows service.
Using the HttpCache expiration callback feature (not recommended, it is a hack).
Use a Sql job (assuming data is changing).
Building upon @Ph0en1x answer, there already is a Stackoverlow question on how to use Quartz.Net in ASP.Net
