I have followed the guide at http://kemmis.info/blog/archive/2008/03/08/how-to-write-a-custom-dotnetnuke-schedulerclient-i.e.-a-scheduled.aspx.

It mentions that I need to compile my source into a dll file.  My source is located at App_Code\name\name.cs.  I had previously wrote something similar in dnn 4.9.5 a while ago and was able to run my code as a task without compiling it to a .dll and putting it in the bin folder, but it seems to be different in 5.2.3.  So I have two questions:

1. Can I call my scheduled task without compiling it to a dll like I have done in the past, and how would I do so when scheduling the task?

And if not,

2.  How would I go about compiling my source into a .dll and calling it when scheduling the task?
 

Also, if I can do either/or, and I'm just doing something retarded, what would be the advantages of compiling into a .dll?

Thanks,

Hi Riggs,

Just wanted to let you know I've written schedulers in DNN before and I didn't have to compile them first.

My dev environment consists of the install version of DNN using Visual Studio 2008.

I've had it work both ways (i.e. In a seperate project and in the dnn project)
