Dotnet scheduler like the Windows "Schedued Tasks" scheduler?

[Codemonkey]

Hi,

I am writing an App in .Net that involves some scheduling of tasks. I was
wondering if anybody has come accross any components or examples of how to
implement a schedule manager like the one in the Task Scheduler for Windows?

Basically I'm after something that'll allow me to specify a "recurring" or
"once off" schedule with advanced options like "the first monday in the
month" etc.

I could go ahead and write my own, but a wee voice keeps whispering the
words "Code Reuse" and "go on, be lazy"

If I can't find anything that is of any use, I'll go ahead and write my own.
If anybody else is interested in a reusable component like this, let me know
your ideas and I'll take them into account when writing it. Being close to
Christmas and all that, I might even post the finished code

Cheers for the help.

Trev.

Just use the windows one:

In addition, I've seen this example that wraps the windows Task Scheduler
API:

http://www.codeproject.com/csharp/TSNewLib.asp

But I'd be more interested in one that is a little bit more "self-contained"
(i.e. doesn't create Tasks in the Control Panel - even hidden ones.)

Thanks. I seen these and forgot to mention them in my first post. Although
it's pretty much exactly what I need, I'd like a self contained one (as
explained in my other post)

Cheers anyway.

Nice one.

For the sake of saving me (and a few others who might need this
functionality in the future), would you consider sharing the code?

When I do get around to writing my own (if I have to), I was planning to
post an article on CodeProject (http://www.codeproject.com).

If you don't fancy sharing the code, never worry. I'm sure I'll be bored of
watching Christmas films over the holidays that I might get around to doing
it (Cough.... Nerd.... Cough...)
