Does anyone know of a good walk-through site for creating a custom scheduler task?  A sample would be great.

I have tried copying some of the base classes and have a difficult time making it work.

Thanks!

Here's the purge Cache task.  Just follow the pattern to implement your own tasks.  Make sure when registering the task you get the nameSpace and assembly correct.

 

Imports System.IO
Imports System.Reflection
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Cache
Imports DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions
Imports DotNetNuke.Common
Imports DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities
 
 
Namespace DotNetNuke.Services.Cache
 
    Public Class PurgeCache
        Inherits DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.SchedulerClient
 
        Public Sub New(ByVal objScheduleHistoryItem As DotNetNuke.Services.Scheduling.ScheduleHistoryItem)
            MyBase.new()
            Me.ScheduleHistoryItem = objScheduleHistoryItem    'REQUIRED
        End Sub
        Public Overrides Sub DoWork()
            Try
               
                Dim str As String = CachingProvider.Instance.PurgeCache()
 
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.Succeeded = True    'REQUIRED
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote(Str)
 
            Catch exc As Exception    'REQUIRED
 
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.Succeeded = False    'REQUIRED
 
                Me.ScheduleHistoryItem.AddLogNote(String.Format("Purging cache task failed.", exc.ToString))    'OPTIONAL
 
                'notification that we have errored
                Me.Errored(exc)    'REQUIRED
 
                'log the exception
                LogException(exc)    'OPTIONAL
            End Try
        End Sub
 
    End Class
 
 
End Namespace

The scheduler always intimidated me but but now it doesnt look so bad. Any chance you might write a blog entry on the subject Philip? This could be a great resource for a lot of devs.

I am curious as to what the installation process is for a new scheduler task.
