A New Task Scheduler Class Library for .NET
Task Scheduler is the Windows service that schedules and automatically starts programs. Windows Explorer presents a user interface to the service when you browse the %WINDIR%\TASKS folder, typically from the shortcut in the control panel. From the command line, the schtasks
command and the old at
command do the same. Programmers have a well-documented COM interface, but the .NET framework does not offer any wrapper for it. The present library provides that .NET wrapper.
Note: Since this library was created, Microsoft has introduced a new task scheduler (Task Scheduler 2.0) for Windows Vista. This library is a wrapper for the Task Scheduler 1.0 interface, which is still available in Vista and is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000.
