I'm trying to determine what would be a good Process Scheduler for .NET applications, so far I have only looked into Quartz.NET. Are there any viable alternatives and what are the tradeoffs when using them?

Honestly, Quartz.NET is pretty much the best one out there. One of Quartz.NET's biggest strengths lies in the fact that you schedule tasks using CRON expressions. This gives you are succinct format that can easily be configured and stored in a variety of places.

  • +1 - agree, and have been using it for a while now. We store the jobs, tasks and schedules in the database, makes for super easy task scheduling that users can manage. – Michael Shimmins Jan 22 '11 at 01:22

You can consider Windows Task Scheduler, there are couple of limitations such as Windows XP Home Edition but other than it should do fine for basic tasks.
