Actually, I am writting code for birthday remainder in Asp.Net. There I wrote a query for getting all the mail ids of those, whose birth day date matches with today's date and then I wrote the code for mail sending. But the problem is as it have to be done automatically I write it in the page load so every time I execute it a mail is sent. So, I want to add one column for the table and it's value should be changed dynamically so, that for the first time when it is 0 mail will be sent and later on it won't on that day.....

on page load check if birthday is today and sent email and clear bit field tp 0 (let default value be 1). so that it will only send mails if bit is 1 (include this check in your send mail logic)
