Quartz.net Working Example

I could not find a working example for Quarts.net. The examples at Quart.net site, does not compile. Found out they are build against Quartz.net version 1.0. The following is a working Quartz.net example that is built against Quartz.net 2.0 (Latest). What this job does is write a text message, “Hello Job is executed” in the console every 5 sec.

Tutorial

Start a Visual Studio 2012 project. Select Windows Console Application. Name it Quartz1 or what ever you like.

Requirements

Download Quartz.NET assembly using NUGET. Right click on project, select “Manage Nuget Packages”. Then search for Quart.NET. Once found select and install. Note that you have to have online connection for this.

Copy and past the following Code

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Quartz;
using Quartz.Impl;

namespace Quartz1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // construct a scheduler factory
            ISchedulerFactory schedFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();

            // get a scheduler, start the schedular before triggers or anything else
            IScheduler sched = schedFact.GetScheduler();
            sched.Start();

            // create job
            IJobDetail job = JobBuilder.Create<SimpleJob>()
                        .WithIdentity("job1", "group1")
                        .Build();

            // create trigger
            ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
                .WithIdentity("trigger1", "group1")
                .WithSimpleSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInSeconds(5).RepeatForever())
                .Build();

            // Schedule the job using the job and trigger 
            sched.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);

        }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// SimpleJOb is just a class that implements IJOB interface. It implements just one method, Execute method
    /// </summary>
    public class SimpleJob : IJob
    {
        void IJob.Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
        {
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
            Console.WriteLine("Hello, JOb executed");
        }
    }
}
