SharePoint timerjob: Read the Web. config inside a timer job

SharePoint timerjob: Read the Web. config inside a timer job

There is no way to get a reference to a spsite or spweb object inside a timerjob. so when you want to store configuration values in the web. config of your web application, there is no way to get the web application's name to open the web. config with the webconfigurationmanager. I programmed this workaround:

-In the featurereceiver of the timer job, pass the spsite instance of the site where the feature is activated on, to the constructor of your timer job class:

Public override void featureactivated (spfeaturereceiverproperties properties)
{
// Collect the reference to the site from the feature parent that can be
Spsite/spweb.
Using (spsite site = properties. feature. Parent. GetType () = typeof (spsite )?
(Spsite) properties. feature. Parent: (spsite) (spweb) properties. feature. Parent). Site)
{

...

Maildatealertsjob
Maildatealertstimerjob = new maildatealertsjob (sanoficonstants. job_name,
Site. webapplication, properties. Definition. displayname, site );

...

}

}

-In
The constructur of your timer job class, you will have a spsite parameter:

Public
Maildatealertsjob (string jobname, spwebapplication webapp, string featurename,
Spsite site)
: Base (jobname, webapp, null, spjoblocktype. Job)
{
This. Title = sanoficonstants. job_title;
This. _ sitetohandleactionson = site. url;
}

-
The _ sitetohandleactionson variable holds the URL string of the site where your
Feature is activated on. This variable is defined like this (note
[Persisted] attribute !!) :

[Persisted]
Private string _ sitetohandleactionson;

-In
The execute methods of your timer job, you now can open the Web configuration
Of the site:

If
(This. _ sitetohandleactionson! = NULL)
{

Using
(Spsite site = new spsite (this. _ sitetohandleactionson ))
{

...

String
Appsettingvalue = webconfigurationmanager. openwebconfiguration ("/",Site. webapplication. Name). Deleetask. settings ["key"]. value;

}

}

}

If
You have a better solution for this, please let me know

Cant
We do something like this?
Public override void execute (guid contentdbid ){
Updatethumbnails (contentdbid, "videos ");
}

Public void updatethumbnails (guid contentdbid, string listname)
{
// Get a reference to the current site collection's content database
Spwebapplication webapplication = This. Parent as spwebapplication;
Spcontentdatabase contentdb = webapplication. contentdatabases [contentdbid];

Using (spsite sitecollection = new spsite (contentdb. sites [0]. rootweb. url ))
{
Using (spweb curweb = sitecollection. openweb ())
{

Configuration Config =
Webconfigurationmanager. openwebconfiguration ("/",
Sitecollection. webapplication. Name );
String value = config. appsettings. settings ["keyname"]. value;
