Question

I want to implement a job scheduler in my windows azure application.

My aim is to execute a specific application at each day at a particular time. For the that implementation I have some choice

1-Using Quartz.net

2-Windows scheduler

If there is any built in method available in C#.net for implement that. I hard about Windows Azure HPC Scheduler. Is it scheduler ?.

Answer 1

While scheduling has been answered numerous times before (which is why I suggested this is a duplicate), I realized you asked a few specific things that haven’t been addressed:

• The HPC scheduler is for HPC workloads, and will not suit your purposes as a general task scheduler.
• There’s no specific task scheduler via c# = you’ll need to write one or use a library such as quartz.
• Remember that web and worker roles are basically Windows 2008 Server VM’s. Whatever you can do in Windows Server, you can do nearly the same in Windows Azure VMs.

Please look at the other answer I referred to, as I provide an answer there that gives you details on creating a scheduler.
