Hi Frenz!!

I want to create one Task Scheduler using C# same as Windows Task Scheduler, to run my .bat (batch) file on particular time.

I found below useful link (TaskScheduler[^])

in this they schedule trigger, and i want to Schedule my .bat file
I mean while i am trying to give my batch file path in tags textbox, its just fired trigger, not run my batch file
so, i modify that code little bit, and now I am able to run my batch file also,

but, when i close my application triggering also stop,
so, is there any way i can triggering or run my batch file even if i close my application liks window task scheduler???

kindly Help me .

Note: its desktop application using C#

1. Why are you not asking the person that wrote the code your question?
2. Why are you unable to just give the task scheduler the path to your batch file?

I just start my carrier as a developer, am new so, i did not have much knowledge about it.
if u know how to give path in this code, help me.

What makes you think that I would know anything about some code that was written by someone else? Why are you not asking them?

Varun_nayak 19-Jul-13 7:56am

k dude. u know, and u have all the answer except this code stuff.

What? That does not make any sense at all.
Why are you asking this here? Why are you not asking the person that wrote the code? Why would you expect that we should go to that article, dissect that person's code and try and explain it to you? If you want to be a programmer and not be spoon fed for the rest of your life, why don't you get the code (as it is provided to you), go through it and figure it out for yourself? It's called "learning".

hey thanks for ur link.

using this method my trigger not only fire but also my batch file run according to scheduling,
but,its not run when i close my window application close like windows task schedule,
so, is there any way so , i can schedule my batch file even it i closed application

Well there is no way it can be scheduled if your application terminates. If you want this to happen repeatedly then you would have to create a service program to do it. However, since Microsoft already provides the Windows Task Scheduler you are merely duplicating what is already there.

ya you are right, but in corporate level we can't ask our employee to use window task schedule to run batch file(batch file call another application),
so, I am looking for a logic to call window task scheduler from my desktop application,
or just want to make application like it.

Take a look at these suggestions.
