I have a client that is wanting an application that will run at the same time everyday and invoice their customers. It will essentially pull data from a db, check it against some xml data, then bill their customers in another system according to certain criteria.

My question is should I do this as an actual Windows Service or just a simple executable that is run by the Scheduled Task Manager? Which would be best?

Any suggestions?

If it is to run at a specific time every day, I would not waste you time trying to do it via a Windows Service.

If it was a every 15 minute, every hour type thing, I might lean towards a windows service.
