Now that SQL Compact 4.0 is out, you might want to use it to as your Quartz.Net job store. Here is how to set up a Quartz.Net 2.0 scheduler with a SQL Compact 4.0 database. PrerequisitesFirst, you will need to download the SQL Compact 4.0 runtime and install it on the same box that will run the Quartz.
Continue ReadingIt’s possible to have multiple instances of Quartz.Net on one machine. This is especially useful if you want to run an instance of Quartz.Net 2.0 alongside an existing Quartz.Net 1.0 instance. However, you can install 2 (or more) instances of Quartz.Net 2.0 on the same box if that’s what you want.
Continue ReadingNow that there is an official beta release of Quartz.Net 2, I thought it would be a good idea to go through the installation process and describe it step by step. Before we get started I’d like to point out that this post was written using Windows 7, so the screenshots may not match exactly what you see if you are on a different version.
Continue ReadingIn today’s post I will explain how to configure a DirectoryScanJob in Quartz.Net 2.0. Configuring the DirectoryScanJob can be done either programmatically or using the quartz_jobs.xml file. We will cover how to configure the job using the xml file in this post as it is not exactly straightforward to do so.
Continue ReadingIn this post we will be implementing the job listener that we discussed in the previous post. The previous post showed us how to add a scheduler listener to the scheduler using a plugin. Now we will describe what you need to do to implement a job listener in Quartz.
Continue ReadingToday we will implement a plugin for Quartz.Net 2.0. If you’re looking for a way to implement a plugin for version 1.0 of Quartz.Net, take a look at this post. Most of the steps are the same, but there are some API changes, so the plugin isn’t exactly the same, as you will see.
Continue ReadingThe xml format for the quartz_jobs.xml file has changed in Quartz.Net 2.0. This is a breaking change, so you won’t be able to use your existing jobs file with the new version of Quartz.Net without updating it to the 2.0 format. If you’re interested in the details of what can be configured in this file, I would recommend looking at the xsd file that defines the schema for the file.
Continue ReadingScheduling jobs programmatically in Quartz.Net 2.0 is very similar to scheduling a job in Quartz.Net 1.0. The overall process is the same, but the scheduler API has changed for version 2.0, so the code used will be significantly different. In this post we will only highlight the differences between the two versions, so if you’re not familiar with the process, then read this post first.
Continue ReadingThis post is one of those back to basics posts and is inspired by a comment left by Jan on one of the Getting Started posts. Today we’ll take a look at how to schedule a job programmatically in Quartz.Net 1.0. I’ll follow up with a post on how to schedule a job programmatically in Quartz.
Continue ReadingIn this post we will explain in great detail how the Quartz.Net scheduler loads its configuration upon startup. Since the scheduler configuration did not change between versions 1.0 and 2.0, the information here is applicable to both Quartz.Net versions. In Quartz.Net, the StdSchedulerFactory is responsible for configuring the scheduler. When the Quartz.
