使用Windows服务的计划任务实现

Question

I need to implement some background components in an enterprise system. The components will run at a specific date/time.

What is the best way to implement using Windows Service?

Answer 1

I recomment Quartz.NET for this purpose. To quote the home page:

Quartz.NET is a full-featured, open source job scheduling system that can be used from smallest apps to large scale enterprise systems.

We are using it in a few of our products and we have been happy with it so far. We mostly use it in the exact scenario you describe - as a constantly running Windows service which periodically executes some tasks.

The documentation is very decent, the API is pleasant to work with. The features are quite rich (cron triggers, interval triggers, custom calendars, lots of other useful features). It plays well with UTC and local time (be sure to read the docs!).

Answer 2

Have you taken a look at Quartz.NET ? Very strong feature set and has been around for awhile.
