Task scheduler for SQL Server Express I have an ASP.NET MVC app which works with database under SQL Server 2008 R2 Express edition. There is a need to perform a regular task on updating some records in the database.

Unfortunately the Express Edition lacks SQL Agent. 
What approach would you recommend?
You can check out the Standalone SQL Agent open source project.  It uses the native SQL Agent tables and procedures (which still exist in SQL Express) to store the jobs replacing the SQL Agent itself.  The engine is pretty well done for T/SQL and Dos commands.  Things like SSIS, etc aren't done yet.  Also the editor is only about 1/2 done, but the engine to run the jobs is the important part.
