Task scheduler

[Sid Price]

Is there a .NET (2003) class available somewhere that might provide a
comprehensive task scheduler with a better granularity than the one minute
of the built-in scheduler on XP? Even down to 15 seconds would be better
than one minute.

Have a look at System.Threadin g.Timer. You can create a timer to run code
at specified intervals

Yes I am aware of that, however I need to have functionality and a UI that
is similar to the Task Scheduler. It seems such a waste of effort to write
that same code myself so the user can select schedules just like they do
with the built-in scheduler.

There is a project on the Code Project that offers a .NET wrapper class for
programmatic access to the Task Scheduler, however it has the same
resolution/granularity issues since the scheduling is done with the built-in
scheduler.

Thanks,
Sid.

The task scheduler was not meant to be run continously - if that is the
case, what you want is a service.

Yes, it's a bit of a hassle to rebuild the task scheduler GUI, but perhaps
you can customize and simplify it for your application needs?

or you could just use SQL Agent Service-- this is included with MSDE;
and it allows you to run things on a scheduled basis... it's actually
really really powerful and it's free

but SQL 2005 Express doesn't have anything similiar
and since those dipshits wouldn't allow MSDE 2.0 to run on Vista;
you've got like _NO_UPGRADE_PAT H_
