.Net Core Windows Service with Topshelf and Nlog

This is a project sample of a .Net Core Console application that can run and install as windows service with all new features in .net core like DI, Logging etc using Topshelf for automatic schedule support.

Topshelf

Topshelf is use to initialies HostFactory Like Below

        var services = ServiceDependency.ConfigureServices();
        var serviceProvider = services.BuildServiceProvider();

        var rc = HostFactory.Run(x =>
        {
            x.Service<Startable>(s =>
            {
                s.ConstructUsing(name => serviceProvider.GetService<Startable>());
                s.WhenStarted(tc => tc.Start());
                s.WhenStopped(tc => tc.Stop());
            });
            x.RunAsLocalSystem();

            x.SetDescription("Windows Service Demo");
            x.SetDisplayName("WinServiceDemo");
            x.SetServiceName("WinServiceDemo");
        });

        var exitCode = (int)Convert.ChangeType(rc, rc.GetTypeCode());
        Environment.ExitCode = exitCode;

Quartz

Quart Library is used to Schedule services like below

    public JobTrigger GetCommonJob()
    {

        ReportProcessorJobKey = JobKey.Create("CommonJob", "CommonJob");

        var job = JobBuilder.Create<CommonJob>().WithIdentity("CommonJob", "CommonJob").Build();
        int ConfigFrequency;
        int frequency = int.TryParse(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["CommonJobFrequencyInSecond"], out ConfigFrequency) ? ConfigFrequency : 5;
        var jobTrigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
            .WithSimpleSchedule(x => x.WithIntervalInSeconds(frequency).RepeatForever())
            .Build();

        return new JobTrigger { Job = job, Trigger = jobTrigger };
    }
