Answer 1

Hi, Please look at Quartz.net, free library for doing scheduled activities.

Answer 2

You can create a Timer in the StartUp (or Start?) event handler of the Application class (Global.asax.cs).

Set the timer interval to e.g. one hour and check whether you have to send new notifications.

Answer 3

An ASP.NET application is not well suited for doing scheduled tasks. The IIS may close down the application at any time, and it may not start again until there is a request for the application.

You might want to use the scheduler in Windows instead to start an application regularly (e.g. once a minute) to check for events.
