Need Help-Windows service or other

I have to develop a applicat开发者_高级运维ion in .net technology which calls an external service which returns some data which will be stored on server.

Now this application should run weekly or monthly basis and will also log the success or failure of bath. For logging i dont have to use databse.

Please suggest.

I'd say that having an application that is run on schedule using windows task scheduler service would be more resource-effective than having your own service that hangs around for weeks just waiting for time to do the job.
