In this post we document the ITrigger interface for Quartz.net. This simple post is one of the documentation series of posts, so it only documents classes and interfaces that are not documented online. Here is the ITrigger interface in all its glory: namespace Quartz { /// <summary> /// The base interface with properties common to all <see cref="
Continue ReadingThis is another of the documentation series posts. This post will be documenting the IJobDetail interface. Here it is: namespace Quartz { /// <summary> /// Conveys the detail properties of a given job instance. /// JobDetails are to be created/defined with <see cref="JobBuilder" />. /// </summary> /// <remarks> /// Quartz does not store an actual instance of a <see cref="
Continue ReadingThis post is part of the documenation series. It just provides a place to document some of the classes and interfaces that are not available in the API documentation. In this post we are documenting the IJob interface. Without further ado, here it is: namespace Quartz { /// <summary> /// The interface to be implemented by classes which represent a 'job' to be /// performed.
Continue ReadingJobs and triggers are at the very core of the Quartz.Net scheduler. In a nutshell, jobs DO the work and triggers determine WHEN the work gets done. Quartz.Net Jobs Creating a Quartz.Net job is pretty straightforward. First, you must implement the IJob interface. The IJob interface is pretty simple. Here it is:
Continue ReadingLesson 1: Using Quartz There are at least two ways to use Quartz.Net: embedded (hosted) in your application or as a standalone windows service. Embedding Quartz.Net in Your Application If you are going to host the Quartz.Net scheduler in your application, you’ll need to create a scheduler. This can be easily done through the scheduler factory provided in the distribution.
Continue ReadingI’m going to take a stab at re-writing the Quartz.NET tutorial for version 2. The current version of the tutorial is for version 1 and so I figured it was time for an update. Below is a list of the lessons that I’ll be posting. Lesson 1: Using Quartz Lesson 2: Jobs And Triggers
Continue ReadingI’ve been working on the Quartz.Net eBook and I have put together an outline of what the contents will be once it is finished. I thought I would share the table of contents with you and I would appreciate any comments you might have. I’m especially interested in getting feedback regarding which sections are more interesting and important for you.
Continue ReadingQuartz.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:
Continue ReadingIn this series of posts we will cover the use of calendars in Quartz.Net. In this first post we’ll start off by explaining what calendars are and what they’re used for. 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.
