In HangFire, can I Enqueue with a queue name instead of using the Queue attribute?

Question

This documentation says that you can specify a queue by using the Queue attribute on the method to be invoked. This assumes that you always want execute a method on the same queue. Is there a way for the process that calls Enqueue to specify the name of the queue to put the job into (effectively putting the decision-making in the hands of the job generator, not the definition of the job).

Answer 1

With a instance of IBackgroundJobClient you can specify a queue.

IBackgroundJobClient hangFireClient = new BackgroundJobClient();
EnqueuedState myQueueState = new Hangfire.States.EnqueuedState("myQueue");
hangFireClient.Create<SomeClass>(c => c.SomeMethod(), myQueueState);

Note that in this way, a retry will put the job back to the default queue. You will require additional code to retry in the same queue, using a JobFilter
