Quartz.Net CronExpression Builder

I used this jQuery plug-in with asp.net and Quartz.Net to schedule the cron jobs: http://shawnchin.github.com/jquery-cron/

This was a good alternative too: http://www.geekytidbits.com/cron-expression-descriptor-demo/Default.aspx


Cron expressions in Quartz.Net are made up of 7 sub-expressions:

1. Seconds
2. Minutes
3. Hours
4. Day-of-Month
5. Month
6. Day-of-Week
7. Year (optional field)

I usually use CronMaker to create my own cron expressions.

Another option is this other tool which works pretty well.


His question is whether there is a way to build a cron expression using an interface (may be a window made through JavaScript) where there are check boxes and radio buttons to check and select options. And according to selected and checked option a cron expression will be created.

Answer to this question is you have to write logic after checking all the options that has been checked. There is no direct way to do this.
