• Task Types: Application tasks (executables), code tasks (methods), and custom implementations
• Cross-Platform: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS (.NET Standard 2.0+ and .NET Framework 4.8)
• Thread-Safe: Built-in thread safety with proper locking and state management
• Flexible Configuration: XML or programmatic configuration
• Extensible: Easy to create custom schedules and task types
• Strong-Named: All assemblies are strong-named for GAC deployment

Quick Start

Installation

dotnet add package DemiCode.Scheduling

For log4net integration:

dotnet add package DemiCode.Logging.log4net

Basic Usage

using DemiCode.Scheduling;
using DemiCode.Scheduling.Schedules;
using DemiCode.Scheduling.Tasks;

// Create a scheduler
var scheduler = new Scheduler();

// Create a task
var task = new ApplicationTask("notepad.exe");

// Create a schedule (run every 5 minutes)
var schedule = new IntervalSchedule(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));

// Create and add a job
var job = new Job("MyJob", task, schedule);
scheduler.Jobs.Add(job);

// Start the scheduler
scheduler.Start();

// Stop when done
scheduler.Stop();

Version 2.0 Breaking Changes

Logger Namespace Consolidation

• Consolidated all logging types into DemiCode.Logging namespace
• Update: using DemiCode.Logging.Loggers; → using DemiCode.Logging;

ApplicationTask Shell Execution

• Changed to direct process execution (no shell)
