Hi,

is it possible to open a custom form via task (instead of .net code)?

@Diego -

Yes, you can. The process is similar to this blog post but you are dealing with ConsoleTasks instead of views and folders.

Can I add Icon for the Create Task? How do I do this?

Well, you can query the database like this:

select * from Resource where ResourceType = 2 and Accessibility = 0

Once you find the Resource you want you'll need to figure out what MP it is in - just look up the ManagementPackId foreign key on the ManagementPack table like this:

select * from ManagementPack where ManagementPackId = '0A4B0FB9-202E-FE68-4F0E-995706EDB2DA'

Hi Travis,

I have a question about the image references in Step 6. Is there a list (of some kind) available with all the icons one can use in custom tasks/forms? For instance, I'm developing a custom form and want to use the incident icon on that form...

Regards,

Kris

Travis, it never ceases to amaze me how quickly you reply to questions, thank you :)

It's not a major, it works fine running off the network. At least I now know it's not worth trying further.

@Rob -

I personally havent spent much time trying to get that to work, but some other people in the community have and havent been able to get it going. Do you have the source code to the .exe? You could convert it to a class in an assembly as described above and distribute it that way instead.

Hi Travis,

I have a standard console task that is using "Microsoft.EnterpriseManagement.UI.SdkDataAccess.CommandLineHandler" to call an exe. Is it possible to add this exe as a resource into an mpb so that the console downloads it as per custom tasks that use dll assemblies? I've tried various methods but the exe is either called via the path, not found or the console crashes.

Cheers,

Rob
