Version: 10.10.4

Syntax

public class ScheduledJob

Remarks

The best way to create a custom scheduled job is to use the ScheduledPlugInAttribute as it will automatically generate a settings page in admin mode.

All dates exposed by ScheduledJob are in local time, but they will be saved to the database as UTC dates.

Examples

Example that demonstrates listing all available jobs.

            var repo = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IScheduledJobRepository>();
    foreach (ScheduledJob job in repo.List())
    {
        Response.Write("Name=" + job.Name);
    }
