Question

I’m trying to create a job in an ASP.NET (C#) form using Quartz.NET, and here’s what I have so far:

JobDetail jobDetail = new JobDetail(count + "_job", schedID, typeof(HTTPtoFTP));

Problem is, I don’t want to link directly to the HTTPtoFTP class, because depending on what the user picks on the form , it’ll link to a seperate class. I’ve tried using a variable in place of HTTPtoFTP, but I get the error:

The type or namespace ‘mergedJobType’ could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Why is this? I guess one way to do this is an IF statement where I just copy the line and change the typeof for each possibility, but it seems like I’d have to replicate all the other lines that refer to jobDetail too.

Answer 1

Unless I’m missing something, I think what you are looking for is mergedJobType.GetType() That returns the type object of an object’s class.
