Add Quartz.net job without starting the scheduler

Question

Is there any way of adding jobs to Quartz.Net jobstore without starting up a scheduler instance?

Answer 1

For creating a managing instance (a scheduler that is used just for job and trigger configuration, like web) you can change your thread pool to ZeroSizeThreadPool that allows you to start scheduler without the fear of it actually running any jobs.

You should always use the scheduler interface instead of direct database access.
