So when I execute BackgroundJob.Enqueue I get the following Exception for version 1.6.12.

> JobStorage.Current property value has not been initialized

My ConfigureServices is as follows my Server is running fine in a standalone Winform app.

`services.AddHangfire(v => v.UseSqlServerStorage(configFile.Root.GetConnectionString("HangfireDB")));`

If I wire it up as below it seems to work, am I configuring the client incorrectly to receive this error?

```
services.AddHangfire(configuration => { });
JobStorage.Current = new SqlServerStorage(configFile.Root.GetConnectionString("HangfireDB"));

```

**Winform Hangfire Server**

Configuration block is not called in client-only scenarios unless you inject the related service somewhere. You should either explicitly initialize `JobStorage.Current` (as you did), or use `IBackgroundJobClient` service instead of static methods (preferred).

Thanks I went with injecting the **IBackgroundJobClient** and just getting the IBackgroundJobClient instance via the MVC Controller constructor. Works perfect.

```
 services.AddTransient<IBackgroundJobClient>(provider => new BackgroundJobClient(new
                    SqlServerStorage(configFile.Root.GetConnectionString("HangfireDB"))));
```

You don’t even need to add it to service container, as `AddHangfire()` does it for you.

Winner winner. 😄 Thanks! I did as you suggested and was able to get the IBackgroundJobClient service from the Controller.

**Add this to ConfigureServices**

```
 services.AddHangfire(configuration =>
                {
                    configuration.UseSqlServerStorage(configFile.Root.GetConnectionString("HangfireDB"));
                });

```

**Add this to the MVC Controller**  
`public MyController(IBackgroundJobClient jobClient)`
