connect to sql job agent

[Steve]

Is there a way to connect to SQL server and read all of the jobs listed in the job agent and get the status of each job?
I want to create either a web page or a winForm, have a list of all SQL DB servers in a drop down, select the db name, then show a list of all the jobs in the job agent and show the status of each job, (failed, running, succeeded, etc) and the last time the job ran and by who.

is this possible to do and if so how can i get started with something like this?

Steve,

What version of SQL Server are you using? If you are using SQL Server
2005, you can take a look at SQL Server Management objects:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms162169.aspx

You should be able to get job information from these.

If you are using SQL Server 2000, then you can use SQL Distributed
Management Objects:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms131540.aspx

SQL DMO objects are COM objects, so you will have to access them through
COM interop.
