Evaluating Quartz.Net Part 2

Once I got the solution to compile I began by running the examples. I right-clicked on Quartz.Example.2010 Project to run in debug mode. I selected each example 1 through 11 successfully. When I got to example #12 the example failed. This probably happen because there's a remote server that needs to run as well. It wasn't apparent as I launched each example. As I run each example I'm also reading through online documentation just to get a mental picture of the sequence of events and object map structures - at this point I'm not seeing how I can run example #12. As I continued with example #13 I noticed that example number 12 was launched - my hunch is that example 12 and 13 work together... but I wasn't 100% sure. Example #14 failed with a SQL fail login - I'm guessing it needs a database. The worse part is that I had to kill the process. There was no graceful shutdown once example #14 crashed. As expected, Example #15 executed without a problem. I think my step at this point is read the rest of the document to fully understand how these objects work together then come back to blogging more about it.

Evaluating Quartz.Net Part 1

So I'm starting to evaluate Quartz.Net - it's been a rough start. I'm hoping that after getting passed these glitches it'll be a promising open source utility. I have to admit, though - if the solution can't compile from the get go I'm sure there will be bigger problems as I move along in the evaluation. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I downloaded the latest from SourceForge to find that the solution can't load the two main projects. Here's the error I got: Unable to read the project file 'Quartz.2010.csproj'. The imported project "C:\src-tfs\bpeikes\ITFramework\Main\Source\3rd Party\Quartz.NET-2.1.2\.nuget\nuget.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk. After some Google searching I ran across this post: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/quartznet/-bcQ0rTwySM/B-s8P4rnuSwJ Which in turn contained a link to the master files on SourceForge: https://github.com/quartznet/quartznet/archive/master.zip I downloaded the master.zip but still couldn't compile... :-\ The error requested that I enable automatic download of the missing NuGet packages. From my Tools menu I selected Options. Under Package Manager there an option for allowing NuGet to download missing packages during build. Once I selected that option I was able to successfully build.
