How to send argument to class in Quartz.Net

Question

I'm using Quartz.Net (version 2) for running a method in a class every day at 8:00 and 20:00 (IntervalInHours = 12)

Everything is OK since I used the same job and triggers as the tutorials on Quartz.Net, but I need to pass some arguments in the class and run the method bases on those arguments.

Can any one help me how I can use arguments while using Quartz.Net?

Answer 1

You can use JobDataMap

jobDetail.JobDataMap["jobSays"] = "Hello World!"; jobDetail.JobDataMap["myFloatValue"] =  3.141f; jobDetail.JobDataMap["myStateData"] = new ArrayList();   public class DumbJob : IJob {     public void Execute(JobExecutionContext context)     {         string instName = context.JobDetail.Name;         string instGroup = context.JobDetail.Group;          JobDataMap dataMap = context.JobDetail.JobDataMap;          string jobSays = dataMap.GetString("jobSays");         float myFloatValue = dataMap.GetFloat("myFloatValue");         ArrayList state = (ArrayList) dataMap["myStateData"];         state.Add(DateTime.UtcNow);          Console.WriteLine("Instance {0} of DumbJob says: {1}", instName, jobSays);     } }

To expand on @ArsenMkrt's answer, if you're doing the 2.x-style fluent job config, you could load up the JobDataMap like this:

var job = JobBuilder.Create<MyJob>()     .WithIdentity("job name")     .UsingJobData("x", x)     .UsingJobData("y", y)     .Build();
