How do I add an in-code method to the scheduler?

[wmortume]

Task actions seems to only take in a string path or TAction but won't let me pass an in-code method. How would I do that?

public void Start()
{
    TaskDefinition task = TaskService.Instance.NewTask();
    task.RegistrationInfo.Description = GetName();
    DailyTrigger trigger = new DailyTrigger();
    trigger.StartBoundary = DateTime.SpecifyKind(DateTime.Today.AddHours(12).AddMinutes(45), DateTimeKind.Utc);
    task.Triggers.Add(trigger);
    task.Actions.Add(Elapsed()); //error
    TaskService.Instance.RootFolder.RegisterTaskDefinition("Scan", task);
}

public void Elapsed()
{
   //Read a file line
   //Send email of file line
}

This functionality is not available from the native Windows Task Scheduler. The task scheduler runs as an elevated service. Therefore, the inline execution you are suggesting would result in a significant security hole.

To run private code, you either need to call an executable with it, using ExecAction, or write a COM object per the ITaskServiceHandler interface (see home page), using ComHandlerAction.

I'm confused on the com object, would I pass the method on the com handler? could you give a quick code example?

You create a new project with the code in it. There is no way to pass a function.

What a bummer, seems to have alll the components i need, easy to use. but I cant go like "task.Actions.Add(() => ExecuteAction());" Well, that erases it from the realm of usable compoments :x
