Quartz Scheduler: How to pass custom objects as JobParameter?

I am planning to write a ASP.NET page to trigger the job on demand. Currently, I am using SimpleTrigger class to trigger the job but none of the __Trigger class supports obj

I was having unexpected results with hillstuk's answer above in multithreaded environments. Here's my solution using Newtonsoft… Enjoy

public void InitJob() {

    MyClass data = new MyClass {Foo = “Foo fighters”}; 

    /* a unique identifier for demonstration purposes.. Use your own concoction here. */
    int uniqueIdentifier = new Random().Next(int.MinValue, int.MaxValue); 

    IJobDetail newJob = JobBuilder.Create()
    .UsingJobData("JobData", JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data))
    .WithIdentity($"job-{uniqueIdentifier}", "main")                
    .Build();

}

/* the execute method */
public class MyAwesomeJob : IJob
{
    public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
    {                   
        var jobData = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(context.JobDetail.JobDataMap.GetString("JobData"));    
    }
}

/* for completeness */
public class MyClass {
    string Foo { get; set; } 
}
