exe for scheduled task

I want to create a C#.NET project that will have an .exe executable to
be launched by Task Manager on a set schedule.

Is "Console Application" the right type for the C#.NET project?

That's one of two you could use. The other one is a Windows form application
that has no controls on the form, a blank form. The code to start the
application would be in the From-Load(). You would hide the form at
Form.Load() before the processing took place, and then you do a
Form-Unload() after processing is complete to end the program, which you can
use the Task Secdular.

Thanks!

I agree with Mr. Arnold.

I would use a form, and set the transparency to 100%.
(invisible form).

You never know later if you want to add your own little monitors and debugs
to it during runtime.

Hello,

You also have another solution. In program.cs in a Windows application,
you find the instruction
Application.Run(new Form1());

If you quote that instruction so that it is not excuted, the form is not
loaded, so you do not even have to unload it, and you can put your
instructions underneath.

Supposing one day you come to need an interface, you can unquote the
instruction that launches the form -and pay attention if you need it
before or after the other instructions.

Of course, supposing the program reaches a certain size, it is important
to remember to keep it a clear structure, for instance by writing static
methods in classes.
