I only know how to add your program to windows task scheduler to schedule automatic execution but what if you wanted to have a particular thread run on a weekly schedule. Someone mentioned windows powershell for all these types of scripting; but it seems too hard to learn on short notice.
View 4 Repliesautomatic scheduler apart from creating windows service in .net or OS batch scheduler?I 'm aware of this two, Is there a 3rd way to create automated process in .net.I having facing limitations in creating windows service like I have semi admin rights so it doesn't allow me to install windows service also I can't view the windows service.
View 4 RepliesI have an import program which I run manually everyday. I want to automate it but i'm not sure whether to make it a windows service or add it as a scheduled task. It needs to run at 11:00 and again at 16:00. Please advise
View 2 RepliesI'm upgrading from Windows XP 32-bit to Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm using VB in VS 2008. Under XP, I used the Task Scheduler to run a program at 3pm every weekday, and it ran fine. Now in W7, when the Task Scheduler runs the programs, it encounters an exception when it gets to the code MyForm.ShowDialog(). The error is:
System.InvalidOperationException was unhandled
Message="Showing a modal dialog box or form when the application is not running in UserInteractive mode is not a valid operation. Specify the ServiceNotification or DefaultDesktopOnly style to display a notification from a service application."
Source="System.Windows.Forms"

When I run the program from a shortcut with the same parameters as in the Task Scheduler (i.e. the shortcut runs the .exe file with some paramters after it), it runs fine, so I'm guessing there is some setting in the Windows 7 Task Scheduler I need to set, but I can't find it. I've tried checking "Run with highest privledges" (and unchecking it), but that didn't help. I have tried it with the "Hidden" box unchecked and checked and that didn't help. I've also tried it with "Configure for" set either way (Windows 7 or Vista). So how do I get rid of this error?
I have set up several tasks on a new installation of Windows 7 and they are working as expected.But when I attempted to run a batch file it fails. It works fine from the command line and I can run it from the scheduler on Windows XP manually (although not on the timer yet).What is about batch files that I need to know to make them run from the Task Scheduler?

View 9 RepliesI have been working for some time on a service that will act as a task scheduler and perform a shutdown action at one of 3 given shutdown times. Before you cringe and ask why not use the task scheduler, I should explain that permissions do not allow users to "create" scheduled tasks and therefore a creative work-around is required. In any case, I am still new to VB, but am including my code below. I want the service to check an alarm time every minute and launch a shutdown application (in the user's context - if logged in) if that time is NOW.

View 6 RepliesI have an old Visual Basic 6.0 application. The program was compiled and ran as a schedule task. It creates the pdf files. When I look at the event viewer. It gives me this error message. The server {85DE1C45-2C66-101B-B02E-04021C009402} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. The application id refers to adobe file. The schedule task never runs. This above error message showed up on the event viewer.
If I run the application by itself, it creates the pdf files with no problem. Any idea with this issue. I did a look up on this error. There is no solution for this issue that I came across on the web.
So I wrote a VB.net project in Visual studio.I have a scheduled task that is set to run the program every morning at 10AM. If I use windows explorer and double click the application, it runs fine.If I open task scheduler, open the task properties, and browse to the application, then choose run, the program fails, due to Runtime exceptions.I know I have the path entered correctly, since I can debug the instance when it crashes from the task scheduler. VS2010 pulls up my source code.The exception is System.IO.FileNotFoundException, remember, it works fine when I double click the app. If attach a debugger to the process after it is executed from the task scheduler, I can then restart the debugger, and Voila!, The application runs fine.

View 3 RepliesI need some clarification. I'm planning to make a Scheduler program where it will fetch data from a MS Access Database, and I also want it to upload the data to a web server (MySQL Database) in JSON Format.
In the first process which is the fetching, I'll use System.Data.Ole.db namespace. This namespace mostly worked in MS Access. In the 2nd process which is the uploading, I am planning to use FTP protocol and should be JSON Format.
I was just confused with the second step, is FTP protocol applicable for this process?
I will make an Android apps to view all the data that will be saved on the web server.
