Creating Jobs

#Guidelines for creating Jobs:

Jobs are pretty tolerant as far as parameters go.

• Polymorphism is best handled by having polymorphic types as generics on your parameter type.

//Example: Not as likely to work:
public class MyVeryPolymorphicParameterType
{
  public object MyParameter {get;set;} 
}
//Should work:
public class MyGenericPolymorphicParameterType<T>
{
 public T MyParameter {get;set;
}

• The parameters themselves may be part of a generic type argument on a class.

• Any return value from the method is currently discarded; so while you aren't limited to a void call, you can't do anything with the result.

  • Instead, consider chaining one job to queue another, or use a Serialized Coordinator pattern.
