Answer 1

So, what's the problem? After downloading you can check the Demo.cs , where you can find the method private void CreateSchedulerItem() and the event triggerItem_OnTrigger . You can change this event to run the batch file that you need.

Answer 2

you can place the path of your batch file in tags textbox .Checkbox the Active in one time only box , set the time and at that time the trigger is fired.

Note: It justs fire's the trigger.What you are loking is to run the batch file.In that case you need to modify the code. you can start from

private void buttonCreateTrigger_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        CreateSchedulerItem();
    }

in Demo.cs page

In order to run your batch file or exe in TaskScheduler.cs find and replace this code

        void _triggerTimer_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        _triggerTimer.Stop();
        foreach (TriggerItem item in TriggerItems)
            if (item.Enabled)
                while (item.TriggerTime <= DateTime.Now)
                    item.RunCheck(DateTime.Now);
                    System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("Your Path");
        _triggerTimer.Start();
    }

Now you can save this path in some knid of common class and make it access to both.

Something like this. I hope that you can change Console.WriteLine on System.Diagnostics .

static void Main(string[] args) {
    AutoResetEvent autoResetEvent = new AutoResetEvent(false);
    Timer timer = new Timer(PrintHello, autoResetEvent, 0, 5000);
    autoResetEvent.WaitOne();
}

private static void PrintHello(Object state) {
    Console.WriteLine("Hello");
}
