Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler NOT FOUND - I want to import this namespace in VB.NET

Question

I've been looking at sample code for interfacing with the Windows Task Scheduler, and most of them import the namespace:

Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler

When I go to import it, it's not there within Win32.

Does anyone know why I can't import it? I'm assuming that something isn't registered correctly on my machine, but I can't figure out how to fix it.

Just for the record, I can start the Scheduled Task component under Accessories. I'm using VS 2008 (VB.Net) with Windows XP Professional.

Answer 1

In your project, you need to add a reference to the Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler.dll that was part of the codeplex download.

[The usual place is to create a folder as part of your source tree for external Libs and reference from there.]

Update: Current practice would be to use NuGet to manage a dependency: https://www.nuget.org/packages/TaskScheduler/
