title: Benefits of console app over windows service
body: <p>I have a .Net console App which using a scheduled event will start, call a mweb service method and the close. This runs every hour/every day. Whilst there is nothing 'wrong' with the implementation I was wondering if there was any benefit to implementing this as a windows service. </p>
  
  <p>Has anyone any views of what would be the best practice in this case? </p>
