Question : asp .net: call a sql job?

Can a sql job be initiated via a asp .net page?  I want to just provide a button to the user, and when clicked will execute the sql job.  If this is possible, what is the code for the initiating of the sql job?

Answer : asp .net: call a sql job?

Just put that TSQL call in a stored procedure and call that in your asp.net code.

create procedure usp_runjob
as
EXEC dbo.sp_start_job N'Weekly Sales Data Backup'
