C# API for Task Scheduler 2.0 [closed]

Question

Does anyone have any recommendations for a .NET c# wrapper for the (COM based) Task Scheduler 2.0 API ?

Couldnt find anything using Google.

(I am aware there are .net based schedulers such as Quartz.net, but I need the fully functioned GUI in the windows Scheduler)

Thanks,

Matt

If you dont want to use any third party wrapper then below is the sample code to schedule task.Code works in Windows 7.

//create task service instance ITaskService taskService = new TaskSchedulerClass(); taskService.Connect(); ITaskDefinition taskDefinition = taskService.NewTask(0); taskDefinition.Settings.Enabled = true; taskDefinition.Settings.Compatibility = _TASK_COMPATIBILITY.TASK_COMPATIBILITY_V2_1;  //create trigger for task creation. ITriggerCollection _iTriggerCollection = taskDefinition.Triggers; ITrigger _trigger = _iTriggerCollection.Create(_TASK_TRIGGER_TYPE2.TASK_TRIGGER_TIME); _trigger.StartBoundary = DateTime.Now.AddSeconds(15).ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"); _trigger.EndBoundary = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(1).ToString("yyyy'-'MM'-'dd'T'HH':'mm':'ss"); _trigger.Enabled = true;  ///get actions. IActionCollection actions = taskDefinition.Actions; _TASK_ACTION_TYPE actionType = _TASK_ACTION_TYPE.TASK_ACTION_EXEC;  //create new action IAction action = actions.Create(actionType); IExecAction execAction = action as IExecAction; execAction.Path = @"C:\Windows\System32\notepad.exe"; ITaskFolder rootFolder = taskService.GetFolder(@"\");  //register task. rootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition("test", taskDefinition, 6, null, null, _TASK_LOGON_TYPE.TASK_LOGON_NONE, null);
