how to do this off hand? I saw a few things for Microsoft.Win32 having some classes but I can't find the reference for it in 2010, which makes me think it is depreciated.
Edit: Can't find Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler or Microsoft.Win32.Win32_ScheduledJob which are the 2 I see suggested to use.
Is it possible to create scheduled task with VB.NET. That is I'm trying to launch/trigger my application at specific time.

TaskScheduler on Windows xp, does anyone know a API used to select a certain task to Run? or do I have to go through that darn COM ITASK interface, I think that might have a method?
View 6 RepliesI have to sync information between a users table in SQL and a user group in active directory. For example, if a user is entered into SQL table A then they need to be entered into group A and if a user is removed from SQL table A, then remove them from group A.The application is written in ASP.NET (VB)
I see two solutions:
1) A scheduled task that runs every night syncing the two (written in VB.NET).
2) Use inpersonation so that Active Directory can be updated by the ASP.NET application. The Web.Config file will have to be encrypted in this solution.
I have read articles online that say it is bad practice to update AD in ASP.NET. This would suggest that option 1 is the better solution. Which is the better solution?
My application needs to set up a scheduled task on installation. The task is to run my program on several triggers (related to logon events). I am wondering what is the easiest way to do this? Should I use a batch file?
View 1 RepliesI've read a few posts here on StackOverflow about task scheduling, but I'm not sure that I get it right. I'm coding (in VB.Net) a backup application, that I'd like to add as a scheduled task (in fact, I'd just like to let the user decide to run it every day at, for example, 3 AM)I've read posts suggesting to use a windows service for this, but it sounds a bit to much for something as simple as periodically running a task, isn't it?
View 2 RepliesIm am currently coding an application for auto updating ccleaner. Everything worked well until I enabled UAC.. I am using this project: [URL] to schedule the updating process, but when uac is enabled I get every time a message if I would let ccleaner installer make changes to my computer. The auto updating process must be done silently without bugging the user with prompts of uac.
When i manually check the "run with highest priviliges" box in task scheduler it does run without a prompt. But I can't seem to do this programmatically. Or I havent found it yet.
To create a scheduled class, I call the schtasks command from my code, passing it the necessary arguments.Yet, I can't really figure out how to create a task without the user having to input his password.
View 1 RepliesIs it possible for the installer or the first running of an application to create a scheduled task entry? Barring that, what is the least resource wasteful way to have a program run in the background watching the system time to run at a preset time?

I am currently attempting to support a ClickOnce application that i did not write. This application is running from a scheduled task. The scheduled task points to a .application file. This had been running happily untill today when it stopped. The only thing that has changed is that the application has been executed manually by a developer by double clicking on the .application file. Since then each time the scheduled task is scheduled to run the application doesn't appear to execute. The task reports no error and the error code (0x0) given indicates it ran and completed ok.
I am not familiar with ClickOnce and am not sure when implication clicking the .application file would have had or why it has stopped running as a scheduled task. It appears to me that everything else has remained the same (i have checked it is running under the correct account etc).
I am developing in VB .net Visual Studio 2010. Would like to enable/disable a scheduled task programmatically.
View 1 RepliesI have created a console application to run through the db (about 22K )records and update some values nightly. I've added an email to myself on any errors. When running the task I get about 500 emails saying:
"Overflow" (which is what's returned by : exception.Message)
What does it mean? Is it running through the db too fast?
Here is my code:
For Each dataRow As DataRow In dt.Rows
curries = 0
baseDate = Nothing

I created an exe app in vb.net and I want it to run every 3AM so I used the scheduled task feature of Windows 7. The app has an initial form that will countdown from ten before proceed to the main process. My problem is that the form doesn't poped up. But when I look at the task manager, my app is running. I don't know what's wrong with it because when I tested the app to run at times when I am viewing it, the initial form pops up. I already set everything like to Run whether user is logged on or not. So I really don't know what wrong with my app.
View 1 RepliesI have a simple vb.net application. When I go to bindebugprogram.exe and double click the program runs perfect. The same program will not execute using task scheduler. When I create a scheduled task and click 'run' it just pops up a console window for a second, closes. Additionally, this same program used to run with task scheduler. One day, it just stopped working.
ps: I have this program code managed in svn so I can safely say that the code has not changed.
how to add the creation of a scheduled task to the setup project of a solution so that it will install the main executable and also schedule it to run in windowsscheduled tasks. The project is in vb.net 2005?
View 6 RepliesI've been having huge problems having a VB.NET Windows Forms program run as a scheduled task under XP SP3. The program runs when I set the task up to use my non-admin network username and password, I can see the interface fine (albeit without the desired results - the program requires access to remote shares). When I set the task up with the network administrator account credentials, the task is "Running" but I do not see any interface. It doesn't error - it just kind of sits there happily in the background.

View 2 RepliesRules:
Rule 1: Replace all of the vowels (A, E, I, O or U) in the original password with a number as follows: (20 points) Replace the first vowel with the number of 1. Replace the second vowel with the number of 2. Replace all other vowels with the number of 9.
Rule 2: Replace all of the numbers in the original password with the letter Z. (15 points)
Rule 3: Reverse all of the characters in the original password. (10 points)
Rule 4: The enter password should be non case-sensitive. All the letters in new password should be in upper-case. (5 points)
This is what is should look like:

CODE:
Right now I'm not worried about the efficiency of the code (i.e. simplifying code into fewer lines). The problem I am having is the locating and replacing of the vowels. When running the program the code will replace all of the numbers with "Z", reverse the string, and make all letters uppercase. When it comes to locating the vowels, the program squares the number it goes through the string by the number of letters that it contains. I don't know why it does this.
when the string contains more then 1 vowel the first time it goes through it replaces all vowels with 1, then goes through again and replaces all vowels with 2, and goes through again repalcing all vowels with 9. These are all then combined into one string.
The research I have done has only turned up how to replace vowels with one thing (i.e. all vowels become "*")
