I have specific trouble: I'm using Yandex.Disk cloud storage and working with this by Yandex.Disk REST API. I have some functionality for syncing data and saving to db. Specially it's file name, file md5, file download url. But trouble is that download url is temporary. And I'm looking for solution, to have ability for apdating download url for all saved in db files, each 24 hours. First solution I found is another project that will be launching by windows task scheduler, but my hosting provider not giving this ability. Help me please to find good solution for this.

You can probably use hangfire http://hangfire.io/ to create a recurring task within your ASP.NET application.

I have created a console program that transfers data from a database to a server. This program must run every day at a certain time. At first I thought of a scheduled task but the problem is that it depends on a user being logged in. However, as it is rather tricky and the service has to run every day, I came to the Windows service through my research.
However, most of the information comes from 2009 and 2010 and may already be outdated? I also found a guide explaining how to create a scheduled service:
https://www.aspsnippets.com/Articles/Simple-Windows-Service-that-runs-periodically-and-once-a-day-at-specific-time-using-C-and-VBNet.aspx
Is that still best practice to do it that way? What would you recommend?
Your first thought was right, use a scheduled task and select the 'Run whether user is logged on or not'.
If you use a Windows Service you have to code the trigger yourself which could be fraught with errors.
If you'd like something more 'enterprise' I'd suggest looking at Quartz.NET. It's an open source scheduling library, although it's probably overkill for what you're trying to achieve.

Is it possible to call an exe from a MVC site?
I've seen this link. (I'll try it tomorrow in the morning when I get in the office)
Stackoverflow link
However I wanted to know if I cam barking up the wrong tree.
I have a 3rd party app that provides us a stand alone exe. Instead of sending this exe to x amount of clients. I would like to keep that exe on my web server so I can control who can use the exe.
Is this is viable option?.
You might find the responses to this old question helpful. If you are trying to run an exe file within your application, I think this would be the approach to take.
If I have understood your question wrong, and you are trying to provide users with a link to download an application, or a link to launch an application that already exists on their computer, then you will probably want to look into the html <href> tag.

I have a solution under TFS source control and had written some sample code using an external library that was deleted a few months ago. I am certain that the code was checked in before that class file was deleted.
I am able to manually browse to previous versions of even deleted files and copy old code but the number of check-ins is massive since then.
Is there a way to programmatically access TFS history using C# so I can automate the process of "Find in historic/deleted files"?
I know people have written scripts in PowerShell for TFS but I'd prefer to write a C# utility if it is possible. Any hints in the right direction would be appreciated.
Shai Raiten's Blog is great for learning the TFS API.

AFAIK attackers can overwrite files which have CHMOD values 777 on linux servers. Today my web site which created by myself using ASP.NET has been hacked. My Site.master page has been appended with lots of backlinks and there was a folder named as Sayers which has many html files (probably include search keys).
I could easily delete the folder and restore the original Site.master file.
I do not have SQL injection problem. Even if so I would have seen some additions or changes in the records. There is nothing. There are only changed files and added folder.
I have updated my FTP password. I am 100% sure that I do not use a third party extension. All the code is handmade (: So I want to know how to prevent this to be done again. Also what could be the vulnerability about the website. I also want to know if it is a server side problem or my problem.
I am using a hosting company's service. I use FTP (21), not secure.
