dotnet academic:
Hi All,
I have to develop an application .The application has to update database.It does not have any user interface.It needs to run on Windows XP/2000 automatically at a particular time say 4 p.m. daily.
I have to develop the application in VB.net
My first question is which Visual Basic.Net Project type do I use- Windows Service Or Class Library?
Second Question is What are the necessary initial steps I have to take during development?
Thirdly how do I finally install or deploy the application so that it automatically runs at a particular time on my Computer.
The OS will be either Windows XP or Windows 2000.
In addition if there are additional settings related to Operating system?

Please Help!
