I have a vb.net class file that I would like to have run as a scheduled job
from Windows Scheduler. Can a class file be converted to a .exe file so it
can be scheduled? The class file needs information from web.config, so its
not practical to make the class file its own project. Any information or
suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
No. Simply put, the class must have a startable Main and be in a project
who's output is set to EXE.
Or you could have the class in a DLL and have a separate EXE that calls the
class.
Either way, you have to have an EXE that the WinSchd can start.
As for the web.config, you can still access it using standard methods or xml
readers.
If I'm not understanding your restrictions, let me know, there are many ways
to accomplish the same task.
