I'm following the directions on Quartz.Net's tutorial pretty closely, but I'm getting a start error when trying to debug my project.

 The type initializer for 'Quartz.Impl.StdSchedulerFactory' threw an exception.

I couldn't really find any help online. Is this a configuration problem? Anybody know where I can get a straightforward list of what needs to be configured?

(I'm using Quartz.Net 2.0)

INNER EXCEPTION: {"Failed obtaining configuration for Common.Logging from configuration section 'common/logging'."}

You most likely do not reference all required assemblies e.g. "Common.Logging.dll".

Update

The constructor fails because your app.config or web.config does not contain a section for common\logging. Does your .config file contains the following section:

  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="common">
      <section name="logging" type="Common.Logging.ConfigurationSectionHandler, Common.Logging" />
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <common>
    <logging>
      <factoryAdapter type="Common.Logging.Simple.TraceLoggerFactoryAdapter, Common.Logging">
        <arg key="level" value="DEBUG" />
        <arg key="showLogName" value="true" />
        <arg key="showDataTime" value="true" />
        <arg key="dateTimeFormat" value="yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm:ss:fff" />
      </factoryAdapter>
    </logging>
  </common>
