Hangfire create cron job in asp.net mvc

Question

I am new in hangfire. I want to create a regular cron job which triggers in every 30 minutes. In documentation i couldn't find a good example. For example this is my method :

public void DoSomething()
    {
        using (EfDbContext _db = new EfDbContext())
        {
            _db.Jobs.add(new CronJob
            {
               status = "job fires",
               date = DateTime.Now
            });
        }
    }

And i want to trigger it in every 30 minutes. How to do it in asp.net mvc? (using hangfire).

And where should i write RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate() this method. In controller, in global.asax or where? — Nika Javakhishvili, Dec 15 '15 at 14:15
It depends on what triggers this recurring job. If you just want to execute every 30 minutes you can add that to your Startup or Application_Start in Global.asax. — Bruno Pessanha, Dec 15 '15 at 14:21
