Question

I am trying to implement Quartz.net in one of my projects.
I am using NthIncludedDayTrigger cause I want my trigger to fire every 5 months at a certain time. Here is the code:

NthIncludedDayTrigger trigger = new NthIncludedDayTrigger(triggerName, groupName);
trigger.Description = "My trigger";
trigger.StartTimeUtc = startDate;
trigger.EndTimeUtc = endDate;
trigger.IntervalType = NthIncludedDayTrigger.IntervalTypeMonthly;
trigger.N = 5;
trigger.FireAtTime = "09:00";

DateTime? Check = DateTime.Now;
DateTime? When = trigger.GetFireTimeAfter(Check.Value);

As you can see I want my trigger to run at 9AM (my timezone is GMT => Greenwich).
When I check (GetFireTimeAfter) the next fire time I can see it is at 8AM.
I’ve checked the timezone trigger.TimeZone and it is absolutely fine.
Is anyone here who can try to help? Thanks.

Just to be sure, you should use DateTime.UtcNow instead of DateTime.Now to get a DateTime that has its Kind set to UTC.
