I have been trying to access the 'NextRun' variable of a job.
foreach (var job in server.Jobs.GetAll())
{
Response.Write("Task Name : " + job.Name + "<br />Next Run : " + job.GetJobVariable("NextRun") + "<br />");
}
This gives me a NullReference Exception every time. Is there any other work around?

This has nothing to do with the api itself. It's Reponse.Write that throws the exception if you have null values in the input. Assign to a variable and you will see

Dim j as string
j = "Task Name : " + job.Name + "<br />Next Run : " + job.GetJobVariable("NextRun") + "<br />"

and the exception comes here is my guess:

Response.Write(j)

Here is some code from the Client in VB.NET:

    Public Shared Function GetNextExecutionTime(ByVal j As JobClass) As String
        If j.Stats.Active Then
            If j.Stats.DateNextExecution.Year = Date.MinValue.Year Then
                Return LangAPI.GetWord("Never")
            Else
                If ConnectionAPI.CurrentServer.On Then
                    Return TimeAPI.GetDateAdjustedToTimeZoneString(ConnectionAPI.CurrentServer, j.Stats.DateNextExecution)
                Else
                    Return LangAPI.GetWord("Server off")
                End If
            End If
        Else
            Return LangAPI.GetWord("Inactive")
        End If
    End Function

Not sure if this will help, but I do a lot of manipulation of the API from powershell, and GetJobVariable doesn't enter into my determining the next run...I use $job.Stats.DateNextExecution.
