Question

I am trying to define a Cron Trigger for a job in Quartz.NET 2.0

I see that the XML file format now supports <time-zone> element.

What format should I use for the time zone? I couldn’t find any reference for that.

Answer 1

Quartz uses the following code to resolve time zone:

TimeZoneInfo tz = timezoneString != null ? 
    TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(timezoneString) : null;

From XMLSchedulingDataProcessor class, see TimeZoneInfo.FindSystemTimeZoneById(). The same functionality in Java version of Quartz scheduler uses:

TimeZone tz = timezoneString == null ? 
  null : TimeZone.getTimeZone(timezoneString);
