API - Application Programming Interface
Features
API
The interfaces to VisualCron
With the Client/Server architecture there are a couple of ways to interact with the VisualCron Server:
.NET API
- a programming interface which can be used along with Visual Studio or PowerShell - see documentation
here
Web API
- a REST and SOAP API which can interact directly and fast with the VisualCron Server - see documentation
here
VCCommand.exe
- a command line tool for performing basic operations - see documentation
here
VisualCron Client - this is the Windows Client used for configuring the VisualCron Server - see documentation
here
VisualCron Web Client - this is a web application, running in any browser, hosted by IIS Server - see documentation
here
.NET API
VisualCron offers an easy to use programming interface
VisualCron Client uses the API itself - this means that anything that can be done in the Client can be done by your program that uses the API
Our users has used the API, among other things, to create own web interfaces and to integrate their applications with VisualCron
Use either .NET directly or PowerShell to control the Server

Object model
To connect to the VisualCron Server you need to create a Client object first. The Connect method returns a Server object. The Server object has access to all main objects within VisualCron.
Methods
The objects share the same kind of methods:
Add
- adds a Job or other object
Update
- updates an object
Remove
- Removes an object
Get
- Retrieves an object based on Id
GetAll
- Retrieves an array or list of all objects within the group (Jobs, Conditions etc.)
Events
These objects have events that you could add use to be notified when a Job or Task is added for example. This information is updated in real time during the connection.
