Reminder Registration

Reminder registration is done in much the same way as for Alarm objects. The reminder is instantiated and then registered with the ScheduledActionService. With reminders, however, you are able to provide a URI that allows you to deep link back to a particular page within the app, as shown in the following excerpt:

Reminder reminder = new Reminder("ReminderName")
    {
        BeginTime = DateTime.Now.AddMinutes(5),
        ExpirationTime = DateTime.Now.AddDays(5),
        Content = "Your daily reminder.",
        RecurrenceType = RecurrenceInterval.Daily,
        NavigationUri = new Uri("/ReminderView.xaml?Id=ReminderName",
                            UriKind.Relative),
        Title = reminderTitle
    };

if (ScheduledActionService.Find(reminder.Name) != null)
{
    ScheduledActionService.Remove(reminder.Name);
}

ScheduledActionService.Add(reminder);

The following section looks at creating a page that allows you to experiment with reminders.
