Does anyone know of any good resources, documentation or sample code of how to leverage the power of the new Vista / Windows Server 2008 Task Scheduler from .NET applications?
(Preferably with some VB.NET code.)

Is there a class in the .NET framework 3.0 / 3.5 to program against the task scheduler?

A lot of applications need some sort of scheduling, and it seems to me that it would be better to use the robust and extensive framework that the OS offers for this, instead of trying to roll your own.

BTW, I know of this: http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/tsnewlib.aspx, but that's for the old 1.0 API.
For the new project that I'm starting (that will only be deployed on WS2008), I'd prefer to use the new API of course...
I really hope something is available for managed code?

are there specific features in the 2.0 spec that you need ?

or do you "just want new stuff" so to speak ??
