Schedule Calls Using ScheduleJobs

Question

I tried to figure out how to call the ScheduleJobs methods in Quartz.Net, but struggled to create the correct parameters that it expects.

Here is what I tried:

IJobDetail jobDetail = JobBuilder.Create<ReportJob>() .WithIdentity("theJob") .Build(); ITrigger everydayTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create() .WithIdentity("everydayTrigger") // fires .WithCronSchedule("0 0 12 1/1 * ?") // start immediately .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute, DateTime.Now.Second, DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Year)) .Build(); ITrigger yearlyTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create() .WithIdentity("yearlyTrigger") // fires .WithCronSchedule("0 0 12 1 1 ? *") // start immediately .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute, DateTime.Now.Second, DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Year)) .Build(); var dictionary = new Dictionary<IJobDetail, ISet<ITrigger>>(); dictionary.Add(jobDetail, new HashSet<ITrigger>() { everydayTrigger, yearlyTrigger }); sched.ScheduleJobs((dictionary, true); // is a cast possible here to IDictionary? 

Other attempts;

 sched.ScheduleJobs(new [] { jobDetail, new[] { afternoonTrigger } }, true); 

& &

 sched.ScheduleJobs(new[] { new KeyValuePair<IJobDetail, ITrigger>()}.ToDictionary<IJobDetail, Quartz.Collection.ISet<ITrigger>(), true);

Make sure you use collections from the Quartz namespace, here is the version of your code that compiles:

 IJobDetail jobDetail = JobBuilder.Create<ReportJob>() .WithIdentity("theJob") .Build(); ITrigger everydayTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create() .WithIdentity("everydayTrigger") // fires .WithCronSchedule("0 0 12 1/1 * ?") // start immediately .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute, DateTime.Now.Second, DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Year)) .Build(); ITrigger yearlyTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create() .WithIdentity("yearlyTrigger") // fires .WithCronSchedule("0 0 12 1 1 ? *") // start immediately .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(DateTime.Now.Hour, DateTime.Now.Minute, DateTime.Now.Second, DateTime.Now.Day, DateTime.Now.Month, DateTime.Now.Year)) .Build(); var dictionary = new Dictionary<IJobDetail, Quartz.Collection.ISet<ITrigger>>(); dictionary.Add(jobDetail, new Quartz.Collection.HashSet<ITrigger>() { everydayTrigger, yearlyTrigger }); sched.ScheduleJobs(dictionary, true);
