Adding a Schedule Using C#

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.
