Quartz.NET how to store fully qualified assembly name

Question

Quartz.NET is using the following for the job class name:

ClassName, myAssembly

However, myAssembly.dll lives in the GAC, and so I get the following error when trying to run the job:

Could not load file or assembly 'myAssembly' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.

I really need it to use the fully qualified name, so it will load from the GAC. Eg

ClassName, myAssembly, Version=1.2.3.4, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Is there any way I can tell Quartz.NET to use the full info? I noticed in 'GetStorableJobTypeName' in StdAdoDelegate.cs that the version number etc. are trimmed off the name.

Should I just create my own custom StdAdoDelegate and override that one function? Not really sure what best practice is here.

Answer 1

If you truly want this, you should override the GetStorableJobTypeName as you have already discovered. I would strongly advice against storing the full name as this will lead to loads of problems. If nothing else, binding redirects whenever you create a new version of the DLL.
