The element is defined by the repetitionType complex type.

For scripting development, the interval of the repetition pattern is specified using the RepetitionPattern.Interval property.

For C++ development, the interval of the repetition pattern is specified using the IRepetitionPattern::Interval property.

For a complete example of the XML for a task that uses a repetition interval, see Daily Trigger Example (XML).
