Quartz.Net Scheduler in Depth Introduction What is a Job Scheduler? Wikipedia defines a job scheduler as: job scheduler is a software application that is in charge of unattended background executions, “A commonly known for historical reasons as batch processing.” If we paraphrase this definition a little, we can say that a job scheduler is an application that lets us do unattended job processing. Job schedulers are all around us, since they are included in many systems that we use every day. Here are a few examples of systems that provide some sort of job scheduler: Operating systems (task scheduler in windows or cron in linux) Databases (SQL Agent in SQL Server) What is Quartz.Net? Quartz .Net is an open source job scheduler for the .Net platform. It is has been ported to run on the .Net framework from the original Quartz Java version. Quartz.Net is written in C# and is a straight code port, with the Java code being basically translated to C#. The Quartz.Net scheduler can be run as a standalone scheduler or it can also be embedded in your application. Development of Quartz.Net 1.0 was originally done on Sourceforge, and the latest build for the 1.0 version can still be downloaded from there (). However, for version 2.0, development of Quartz.Net has moved to Github (). The binaries are still available on Sourceforge. You can download the latest binary release of Quartz.Net 2.0 from The core Quartz.Net library is also available as a NuGet package and you can visit the Quartz.Net page on NuGet here: . Why Use Quartz.Net? Operating systems and databases all have some sort of task scheduling capability. Why should you consider using Quartz instead of these built-in schedulers? Here are some reasons: You want to limit the total number of jobs that run at the same time You need more than one server to run all the jobs
