title: Scheduling Web Api method to run on set intervals
body: <p>In my current project there is a need to schedule a method to run at set intervals e.g. once a week, and currently this is done via a windows service creating an HttpClient and hitting the desired controller method.</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering whether this is possible to automate in the Web Api project itself, rather than using an external service.  So far I have not found any documentation on doing this.</p>
  
  <p>Apologies for not having a code sample to work from as I have not found a base to start from yet.</p>
