When the user publishes a page, I need to automatically schedule it with a start date being as soon as possible, and the end date being a year from the start date. I've tried the event receiver approach (i.e. creating a ScheduledItem and setting the dates accordingly then ListItem.Update() and ScheduledItem.Schedule()) but I get an errro to do with workflow's that I just can't seem to get around.
Does anybody know any other way I can achieve this?
Does it look like this:
using (SPSite site = new SPSite("http://serverName:1111/"))
{
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
SPList list=web.Lists["Doc Library"];
SPListItem listItem = list.GetItemById(1);
ScheduledItem scheduledItem = null;
if (ScheduledItem.IsScheduledItem(listItem))
{
scheduledItem = ScheduledItem.GetScheduledItem(listItem);
}
else
{
throw new System.ArgumentException
("SPListItem must support scheduling",
"listItem");
}
DateTime startDate = new DateTime(2011, 4, 6, 22, 50, 00);
DateTime endDate = new DateTime(2011, 4, 6, 22, 51, 00);
scheduledItem.StartDate = startDate;
scheduledItem.EndDate = endDate;
scheduledItem.ListItem.Update();
scheduledItem.Schedule();
}
}

Perhaps if the link doesn't help can you provide more information, perhaps your code isn't quite right on the event receiver. Can you also post the error because afaik you are heading down the right path.
