C# How to fire routine by Quartz.net every day at specific time of day

Question

i am not before dev pc but i got a code which seems like work.

private void QuartzTest_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // construct a scheduler factory
    ISchedulerFactory schedFact = new StdSchedulerFactory();

    // get a scheduler
    IScheduler sched = schedFact.GetScheduler();
    sched.Start();

    IJobDetail job = JobBuilder.Create<LoggingJob>()
        .WithIdentity("myJob", "group1")
        .Build();

    ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
       .WithDailyTimeIntervalSchedule
         (s =>
            s.WithIntervalInHours(24)
           .OnEveryDay()
           .StartingDailyAt(TimeOfDay.HourAndMinuteOfDay(08, 00))
         )
       .Build();

    sched.ScheduleJob(job, trigger);
}

it seems the trigger will trigger job every day at 8:00 AM every morning. anyone can confirm that really does the above code will trigger my routine every day at 8:00 AM every morning ?

i asked this kind of question because i am not before dev pc so i can not test the above code that it will work fine or not?

also i am curious to know how could i exclude Saturday and Sunday as a result my routine will not be fire. where to add day name no to fire my routine. only my routine should be fire from Monday to Friday.

thanks

Answer 1

To do it only on weekdays you can use a cron expression like this

0 0 8 ? * MON-FRI *

Usage is described here

Would look like this for you

ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
       .WithCronSchedule("0 0 8 ? * MON-FRI *")
       .Build();

This should fire every day at 8am except for weekend

You can use this website to generate your cron expressions: http://www.cronmaker.com/

Answer 2

If you want to run it on weekdays without using a cron expression, you can also use:

    var trigger = TriggerBuilder
                 .Create()
                 .WithSchedule(CronScheduleBuilder
                                  .AtHourAndMinuteOnGivenDaysOfWeek(8,
                                                                    0,
                                                                    DayOfWeek.Monday,
                                                                    DayOfWeek.Tuesday,
                                                                    DayOfWeek.Wednesday,
                                                                    DayOfWeek.Thursday,
                                                                    DayOfWeek.Friday))
                 .Build();
