How to use Hangfire with VB.NET

question
3

My aim was to configure the Hangfire in a central Api assembly so that I dont have to add the hangfire to all other assemblies. I am posting my solution here for others who need to do something similar

Blow is the interface and the class I added in the Api assembly

    ''' <summary>
    ''' Interface should be implemented by a class if it wants to run
    ''' </summary>
    ''' <remarks></remarks>
    Public Interface IJob

        Sub DoJob()

    End Interface


 Public Class Scheduler

        ''' <summary>
        ''' Adds a background job to be executed. 
        ''' </summary>
        ''' <typeparam name="T"></typeparam>
        ''' <param name="sJob"></param>
        ''' <remarks></remarks>
        Public Shared Sub AddBackgroundJob(Of T)()
            BackgroundJob.Enqueue(Of T)(Sub(job) CType(job, IJob).DoJob())
        End Sub
End Class

Then in one of the other assemblies I did this to add jobs to Hangfire, currently it just contains a method to add a Fire and Forget job.

Class StatScheduler
        Implements IJob

        Public Sub DoJob() Implements IJob.DoJob
           ' ToDo
        End Sub
End Class

Then finally we send job to the Api form the target assembly like this

 Scheduler.AddBackgroundJob(Of StatScheduler)()
