Quartz.Net ships with a plugin that allows you to schedule jobs using an xml configuration file. By default this configuration file is called quartz_jobs.xml. In this post I will describe how to schedule a job with a cron trigger using this xml format.
Here are the contents of the XML file:

My commitment is to grow a moustache for the month of November and by changing my appearance, raise vital awareness and funds for men’s health, specifically prostate and testicular cancer initiatives.
If you’d like to join the movement, visit the Movember page and sign up. Start your own team or join one of the existing ones.
If you would like to, you may help help support my personal journey by making a donation at http://mobro.co/jayvilalta The size of the donation isn’t important, every little bit helps Movember continue its funding of world-class programs.
To highlight the importance of what I am doing, take a look at these statistics:
• 1 in 6 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime
• This year 242,000 new cases of prostate cancer will be diagnosed
• This year 8,290 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer
For more details, take a look at the Programs We Fund section on the Movember website: http://us.movember.com/about/funding-overview/

We’ll also describe all of the calendars that are included with the Quartz.Net distribution. In following posts we’ll look at examples of how to use the different calendars and eventually we’ll build our own custom calendar.
Continue ReadingIn this post we’ll walk through the creation of a custom Quartz.Net JobFactory that uses dependency injection to pass dependencies to our jobs.
We’ll be using Castle Windsor for this example, but you can use any dependency injection framework you want.
We discussed the Qartz.Net IJobFactory interface in detail previously, so read that first if you haven’t yet. At this point I’ll assume you’re familiar with that interface, so I’ll move on directly to implementing the custom Quartz.Net job factory. Here is the custom JobFactory using Castle Windsor.
Continue ReadingIn an earlier post we covered what Quartz.Net job factories are and what they’re used for. We also went over the job factories that are included in the Quartz.Net distribution. For this post we’ll cover how to configure the Quartz.Net scheduler so that it uses the job factory we want.
To demonstrate how this is done we’ll modify the quartz.config file and tell Quartz.Net to use a PropertySettingJobFactory instead of the default SimpleJobFactory.
