Adding a Schedule Using C#

  • Article

The following is a C# code example that adds a new schedule called "Extended Work Hours," which includes all hours on all days. This code was written as a Windows Console Application. To use this code:

  1. In Visual Studio 2008 or Visual Studio 2005, create a new Visual C# console application.

  2. In Name, provide a name for your project, in Location, modify the path to your project as desired, and then click OK.

  3. On the Project menu, click Add Reference and add a reference to mspfccom.interop.dll.

  4. Copy the following code into the .cs source file and build the project.

    using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Runtime.InteropServices;
using Microsoft.Isa.Interop;

namespace CsAddSchedule
{
    class AddSchedule
    {
        const string ScheduleName = "Extended Work Hours";
        const Int32 Error_AlreadyExists = -2147024713; // 0x800700B7
        private static FPC m_Root;
        private static FPCSchedules m_Schedules;
        private static FPCSchedule m_Schedule;
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            m_Root = new FPC();
            // Retrieve the schedules collection.
            m_Schedules = m_Root.GetContainingArray().RuleElements.Schedules;
            // Create the new schedule.
            try
            {
                m_Schedule = m_Schedules.Add(ScheduleName);
            }
            catch (COMException comEx)
            {
                if (comEx.ErrorCode == Error_AlreadyExists)
                {
                    m_Schedule = m_Schedules.Item(ScheduleName);
                    Console.WriteLine("Using the existing schedule");
                }
            }
            // Set the schedule.
            m_Schedule.Set(FpcScheduleDays.fpcALL_WEEK, FpcScheduleHours.fpcALL_DAY);
            // Save the changes.
            m_Schedules.Save(false, true);
            Console.WriteLine("\r\nDone!");
        }
    }
}

  5. Run the application.
