I have a method that send some SMS to our customers that look like below:
public void ProccessSmsQueue()
{
SmsDbContext context = new SmsDbContext();
ISmsProvider provider = new ZenviaProvider();
SmsManager manager = new SmsManager(context, provider);
try
{
manager.ProcessQueue();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
EventLog.WriteEntry(ex.Message, EventLogEntryType.Error);
}
finally
{
context.Dispose();
}
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
Task.Factory.StartNew(DoWork).ContinueWith( ??? )
}
So, I have some issues:
I don´t know how long it takes for the method run;
The method can throw exceptions, that I want to write on EventLog
I want to run this method in loop, every 10 min, but only after last execution finish.
How I can achieve this? I thought about using ContinueWith()
, but I still have questions on how to build the entire logic.
Task
at all? Why not just use aTimer
