WorkItemTimerJobState class

Used to track state for each iteration through processing work items.

Inheritance hierarchy

System.Object
  Microsoft.Office.Server.Utilities.WorkItemTimerJobState

Namespace:  Microsoft.Office.Server.Utilities
Assembly:  Microsoft.Office.Server (in Microsoft.Office.Server.dll)

Syntax

'Declaration
Public Class WorkItemTimerJobState
'Usage
Dim instance As WorkItemTimerJobState
public class WorkItemTimerJobState

Remarks

Derive a class from this class in order to support executing code at the points where sites and site collections are changed while processing work items in a timer job that is derived from a SPWorkItemJobDefinition object.

The following example code demonstrates a sample work item job definition.
