Validating Cron expression

[gan_shiv]

Hi,

Is there a way to validate a cron expression before passing it on to a
Cron trigger? I actually have a telnet based app, from where the user
would enter the cron expression for the trigger.

Does quartz have any method that can validate the expression for me?

Regards,
Ganesh

Ganesh,

I don't think there is something like that, but I could be wrong. You
could try regular expressions or try building something more complete:

Hi,

You can use Quartz.CronExpression.IsValidExpression(string expression).
