I've written a custom module (WAP) for 4.5.1 using the very helpful tutorial by adefwebserver: http://dotnetnuke.adefwebserver.com/DotNetNuke/tabid/195/Default.aspx

I now need to write a scheduler for this module and package it all together.

Are there any tutorials around for building and packaging a scheduler with a custom module? I've read the scheduler documentation but I'm not sure where I should build the class in my solution. Do I need to add the class to the Module solution, or add a new solution and build it separately?

Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. Do you have an idiot's guide on how to set the project up? I have VS2005 but am feeling a bit lost on how to even set up a project for a new scheduler within the dotnetnuke.sln.

Thanks agan.

Nik -

Much appreciated, thanks. I've set this up now in another class in my module:

Namespace TT.Modules.Emailer

    Public Class EmailerSchedule
        Inherits DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.SchedulerClient

        Public Sub New(ByVal objScheduleHistoryItem As DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.ScheduleHistoryItem)
            MyBase.new()
            Me.ScheduleHistoryItem = objScheduleHistoryItem
        End Sub

        Public Overrides Sub DoWork()
            Try
                ' Code to do something goes here
                SendEmail()
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.Succeeded = True
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote("Completed Emailer schedule")
            Catch ex As Exception
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.Succeeded = False
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote("EXCEPTION: " & ex.Message)
                Me.Errored(ex)
                LogException(ex)
            End Try
        End Sub

        Private Sub SendEmail()
            Me.Status = "Sending Email"
            ' do the job
            Me.Status = "Sent Email"
            Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote("Completed Emailer schedule")
            Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.Succeeded = True
        End Sub
    End Class

End Namespace

I added the Scheduler manually like this in Host > Schedule:

Full Class Name and Assembly: TT.Modules.Emailer.EmailerSchedule,TT.Modules.Emailer
Enabled: Yes
Time Elapsed: 2 Mins
Retry Frequency: 5 Mins
Retain Schedule History: All
Run on Event: None
Catch Up Enabled: Yes
Object Dependencies:
Run on Servers:

I edited web.config and set the schedule debug="true" as per the scheduler docs. This then added some stuff to events:

EVENT ADDED TO PROCESS GROUP 0: TT.Modules.Emailer.EmailerSchedule,TT.Modules.Emailer
SCHEDULE ID: 10
Server Name: MyBox

But, there is no schedule history. Where does Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote() write to?

I think this is very close now because it looks like I added it correctly, just nothing being logged.

Thanks again
