Task Manager

Hi,

We want to create a task manager using ASP.NET. Basically, when a user logs in, this person can:

1. create a task, schedule a task, put note. Similar to Outlook
2. email(s) will be sent out in the morning to remind this person what this person needs to do that day.

I know Outlook might do the trick, but we want to add more custom fields into the system. Any ideas? thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. So basically, it can not send out email like "15 mins" before the event?

Also, is it possible to display "time block" based on the time selection? thanks

Can you tell me a little bit more about "event queue"? How/where do I set it? thanks

Also, "Time block" (sorry, I might use the wrong term), is something like when we setup calendar in outlook, it shows "time block" that are "booked"

there is not an "event queue" built in for what you are wanting, you will have to create everything in code and the database. There is a lot of complexity that is built in to Outlook that you want to just have available. There are SQL Server Agent Jobs that are similar to chron in a UNIX environment, but that could just take the place of c# or the OS doing the scheduled checks. This is a complex task, believe me, I have watched several people try to accomplish similar apps.
