Do you want to try that again? This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work with.
So stop trying to type the minimum words you can get away with and help us to help you!

i have a system that monitors the contents of a file. File checker created in C#, with a start and stop function, i want to use task scheduler to startup the app and stop it, but it cant start the actual file monitoring process, is the a way in which i could remove the start and stop function so that the application starts monitoring the files immediately its executed and stops when it is closed .

How do you expect us to know that, given that we can't see your code at all and have no idea how you have written it?

All programs start as soon as you execute their exe files. Your question makes no sense.

Did you by accident write a windows service? If yes, delete the source-code; you shouldn't be writing those.

is it possible to create a class that schedules a program to start and stops at specific times of the day, say it run from 00;00 to 23;59 every day
|
|
|
|
|
Within your app, yes - but it will only work if your app is running at the time.
If it isn't, you can't use a class to do that, because all class instances are destroyed at the end of the app.
You can however run an app at a specific time each day: Task Scheduler (Windows)[^] will let you do that pretty easily.

Just create a background thread - see the BackgroundWorker class[^] for a simple method and an example.
Then in the thread, use DateTime.Now to get the current date and time, and if you are outside the "running" time, call Thread.Sleep(60000) to wait for one minute before trying again.

I'd tend to go with an Rx solution where I calculated the time difference between now and the end time, then use that as the parameter in an Onservable.Timer[^]. Then again, I have obviously have masochistic tendencies

Why don't you do this via a Windows service? A Windows service will run even if a user isn't logged on the machine. You can use a config file to control processing, or if it's a file checker, it will watch the specified file for changes (or folder for new files), and react accordingly.

thats a full code of filemonitor i found online.
am trying to edit it in such a way that when i click the exe file it already starts checking the files, without having to click the start button and stop button.

Like I said, write it as a windows service, and it can just sit there watching the file/folder without any user interaction at all.

thanks, so am new to programing, how can i write it as a windows service? sorry for asking too much,

0) I suspect that you don't have the requisite skillset to handle it. Windows services require a more intimate knowledge of how Windows works.
1) The act of writing a Windows service cannot possibly be covered on a programming forum. However, CodeProject has many dozens of articles that can show you the basics.
2) As a new developer, if you learn nothing else, learn this - google is your friend. If you don't learn how to use google, your development career will be less than stellar. Here's a Microsoft site that explains how to write a Windows service. I found it with google.

Sort of. All you can guarantee is that, at some point, you should be able to make the application stop. The reason that I'm being cagey about this is because you can't exactly guarantee the point at which an operation is going to be run on a computer because there might be other tasks running that push your timing slightly out.

Here's a weird one.
I have a class library assembly with the following (pseudo)code:
namespace MyStaticNameSpace
{
public static partial class MyStaticClass
{
public static void MyMethod1()
{
}
}
}
In my (MVC web) application (that references the assembly described above), I have this:
namespace MyStaticNameSpace
{
public static partial class MyStaticClass
{
public static void MyOtherMethod()
{
MyMethod1();
}
}
}
My problem is that the code in the app can't see MyMethod1 in the library assembly. What am I missing?
I event tried using "MyStaticClass.MyMethod1();"...
When I try to reference methods in MyStaticNameSpace.MyStaticClass from anywhere else in the app, it sees all methods in both the assembly and the local namespace extension.
If I rename the app's class to something other than MyStaticClass, I can then do this - MyStaticClass.MyMethod1(), but that defeats the purpose of making the class partial.

The fact that they're two completely different classes.
You can only use partial to split a class into different files within the same project.
