Hi,
I have a big problem. I have a database with data about a bidding site.
I would like to run a checking every 2 or so minutes to see if a bidding has expired or finished by buying, and send messages to the users if the case.
The problem is that i use Microsoft Sql Server 2008 R2 Express, meaning i don't have Server Agent.
This is a project for a competition, so i would like that the scheduling was made from ASP.NET, and not using other web host stuff.
I've found a tricky solution, making use of the cache expire event, but i can't make it work.

I use Visual Studio 2010, Microsoft SQL Server R2 Express, so if you can please provide compatible solutions.
Thank you for your help
