This may works with System.Web.Script.Serialization.JavaScriptSerializer to read the saved variable.
The GetTimestamp function returns seconds since 01.01.1970 UTC. This can be converted to DateTime easily.
In order to get rid of an executable, there may be a "build.ps1" powershell script, which uses MSBuild.
I'm not sure, if this is too complicate for users. |
Powershell script might be confusing to your average user, I did some basic application architect models and i changed my mind on the windows service module, instead it will be an executable that the user will run on demand and it will reach out to my hosted API which will handle the notifications and such and provide a web based interface for users to manage them.
The model i decided on will have three part
- The Addon that will collect the research data
- The executable that will allow the user to locally track timers offline as well as an option to send to my api
- And of course the API where i will collect volunteered information and allow users to manage notifications via email
