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.
