How to create new Scheduled Task Programmatically?

Question

I am interested in creating a new scheduled task for Vista / Windows 7 and I am intersted in doing in programmatically for my program. For windows XP I used:

System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("schtasks", @"/create /tn TestTast /tr C:\test.exe /sc daily /st 18:55:00");

How would I go about doing this for Vista / Windows 7 programmatically, if I also wanted to 'select' the "Run task as soon as possible after a scheduled start is missed" option?

Thank you

Thank you for your reply, but I found help elsewhere. Also, most of the replies in the threads were talking about 'Task Scheduler 1.0' from XP not 'Task Scheduler 2.0' from Vista / Windows 7 and were therefore little use.

I have found what I wanted from this site: http://taskscheduler.codeplex.com/. It gives you a .NET wrapper and lets you use the wrapper for both XP & Vista / Windows 7, while still being able to use 'Task Scheduler 2.0' features.
