Calling .NET webservice automatically

I am new to .NET and web services. My aim is to create a .asmx webservice in C# which will invoke itself in every 12 hours automatically. So, there won't be anybody invoking its methods but it will invoke itself regularly. I am confused about how to do this with .NET webservices.

If it's a public webservice (or one available on the Internet, in any case) you can check out the new Azure Scheduler to invoke your webservice on a regular basis.

You can Create and schedule Jobs that will invoke every 12 Hours or say at 12am and 12pm everyday using Quartz.NET

You can create your Cron expression using :

http://www.cronmaker.com/

"InitializeScheduler()" calls the job where JobType => typeof(YourClass) with Execute() holding the required method to execute. And cron expression will identify and schedule its time

Please follow the links for further understanding on the implementation :

http://www.quartz-scheduler.net/

Works best for my requirements

My suggestion would be to use either a windows service or a console app scheduled to run every 12 hours by the host system's scheduling software (Windows Task Scheduler, cron, etc.).

Here is an interesting discussion on the similar requirement like yours to run a method at regular intervals and David has given various options in there.
