Start Process in a determinated Day and Time

C#

Hi everyone,

I've a client/server application that will interface with a backup program (Cobian).

On the server I have a listbox where are written name and IP address of the client connected to it.

Double-clicking on the client present in the listbox I get a window where I can select the days and time in which I want the backups are made.

Days and time are are saved in a text file with this syntax: MON TUE ;11

Question :

Through a task scheduler I need to start the program Cobian only on the days and time taken from the text file.

Can you help me?


[Edit]
Let me explain, in this moment I have this code:

using System;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler;

//------------- TASK SCHEDULER: -----------------

string[] Paths = Directory.GetFiles(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "*.ini");

foreach (string path in Paths) 
{
    StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path);
                
    string[] name_pc = sr.ReadLine().Split(':');
    string[] ip = sr.ReadLine().Split(':');
    string[] temp = sr.ReadLine().Split(';');
    string[] hour = temp[temp.Length-1].Split(':');
    string[] days= temp[0].Substring(0, temp[0].Length - 1).Split(' ');
}
    TaskService ts = new TaskService();
    TaskDefinition td = ts.NewTask();
    td.Triggers.Add(new WeeklyTrigger(DaysOfTheWeek.AllDays, 2));

I would like to have something that would give me the possibility to insert in place of DaysOfTheWeek.AllDays something like days[0].ToString().

Do you understand?

At the end I chose this way:

//------------- TASK SCHEDULER: -----------------

            string[] Paths = Directory.GetFiles(Environment.CurrentDirectory, "*.ini"); //Prende il percorso di tutti i file nella cartella corrente del programma con estensione .ini

            foreach (string path in Paths) //Ogni file con estensione .ini viene letto e viene isolato soltanto l'indirizzo ip
            {

                StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(path);

                string[] nome_pc = sr.ReadLine().Split(':');
                string[] ip = sr.ReadLine().Split(':');
                string[] temp = sr.ReadLine().Split(';');
                string[] ore = temp[temp.Length - 1].Split(':');
                string[] giorni = temp[0].Substring(0, temp[0].Length - 1).Split(' ');
                string[] days = { "MON", "TUE", "WED", "THU", "FRI", "SAT", "SUN" };

                TaskScheduler.TriggerItem triggerItem = new TaskScheduler.TriggerItem();

                triggerItem.Tag = nome_pc[1].ToString() + ";" + ip[1].ToString(); //Prende il nome del pc + l'indirizzo ip
                triggerItem.StartDate = DateTime.Today; //Prende la data di oggi
                triggerItem.EndDate = DateTime.Today.AddYears(80); //Termina tra ottant'anni a partire dal 2013
                triggerItem.TriggerTime = Convert.ToDateTime(ore[0].ToString() + ":00:00");

                for (byte day = 0; day < 7; day++)
                {
                    if (Array.IndexOf(giorni, days[day]) != -1) //Restituisce la posizione del relativo giorno
                    {
                        triggerItem.TriggerSettings.Weekly.DaysOfWeek[day] = true;
                    }
                }

                triggerItem.Enabled = true; 
                _taskScheduler.AddTrigger(triggerItem);
                _taskScheduler.Enabled = true; // Fa partire il task scheduler

                Send_To(ip[1].ToString(), "ESEGUI");
                sr.Dispose();
                sr.Close();
                //  ------------- END TASK SCHEDULER -------------

My code is based on this TaskScheduler[^]
