Answer 1

You need to download the corresponding Microsoft.Win32.TaskScheduler DLL and then add a Reference to it from the project References.

One easy way to accomplish this is by using the NuGet package:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/TaskScheduler

Adding the package will provide the DLL and also add the Reference.
