Seeking recomendations for a .net task scheduler/timer class
-
Hello All, I've been googling and searching codeproject for that "perfect" fit for my situation. I need to build a task scheduling service and I'm seeking a timer/scheduler class (to purchase or scavenge) which provides scheduling functionality such as SQL Agent (MSSQL Server) that will call a method in one of my classes (I would expect to implement an interface provided by the scheduler) or raise an event that I can subscribe to. This magical class needs to store/retrieve it's scheduling information from an XML/ini file (not DB). Ideally I'm looking for something I can just drop in and run with. Dealing with ticks & math (i.e. the .Net timers) is lower level than I want to go. I could build one myself out of those but would rather leave the math and "gotcha's" to something robust/hardened so I don't have to go there and work through the mistakes someone else has already fixed. There are several articles on codeproject I've gone through: A component for event scheduling inside an application[^] SQL Agent: A Job Scheduler Framework[^] Time scheduler in C#[^] .NET Scheduled Timer[^] Guadagno Task Scheduler[^] C# Scheduler[^] (and more) that i could use as examples and/or scavenge but this is one part I don't want to be troubleshooting/fixing issues. Several of these projects have posted bugfixes/etc... but seem like there are on or two (or more) oustanding items in each so I don't want to commit the time to scavenging something together to have issues there
