I have some method that is invoked on Application_Start. And it starts on first page request by any user.
But i have another application, dependent on that task that fires during Application_Start.
So that if IIS/website is restarted- another application cant get some data from website, until someone requests page on the running website.
Is there a way to run some task on website start; without any interaction from user side, just to start website in IIS and do the job i want?
PS more details on implementation architecture:
Website starts an instance of messaging service and starts sending messages through that service(that is located on another server). I know that it would have been better to create wcf or windows service for this kind of things, but someone wrote this website before i was included in this project. So clients(that receive messages from messaging server) do not know anything about website. Here website is just administrative panel to turn on/off some messaging features.
My Solution
Created windows service for my task. Works well, under local system account has no problems with writing to windows event logs.
