Question

Let us say I have prepared my Quartz.NET as a Windows service and it is currently being run (with an ADOJobStore running on Sqlite). I need to take

Answer 1

Your service can expose the scheduler by modifying the config file:

Your Windows app can then accesss it with the appropriate settings:

        //you can put these in a config file too.
        NameValueCollection properties = new NameValueCollection();
        properties["quartz.scheduler.instanceName"] = "RemoteClient";

        // set thread pool info
        properties["quartz.threadPool.type"] = "Quartz.Simpl.SimpleThreadPool, Quartz";
        properties["quartz.threadPool.threadCount"] = "5";
        properties["quartz.threadPool.threadPriority"] = "Normal";

        // set remoting expoter
        properties["quartz.scheduler.proxy"] = "true";
        properties["quartz.scheduler.proxy.address"] = "tcp://127.0.0.1:555/QuartzScheduler";

        ISchedulerFactory sf = new StdSchedulerFactory(properties);
        IScheduler sched = sf.GetScheduler();

The quartz.net master contains really good examples that you won't find in the documentation.
