1. Create a new console project that references Topshelf and log4net:

install-Packagetopshelfinstall-package topshelf.log4net

2. Modify the relevant documents.
Program.cs:

usingSystem;usingSystem.IO;usingsystem.timers;usinglog4net;usinglog4net. Config;usingtopshelf;namespacetopshelfdemo{ Public classTowncrier {ReadOnlyTimer _timer; ReadOnlyILog _log = Logmanager.getlogger (typeof(Towncrier));  PublicTowncrier () {_timer=NewTimer ( the) {AutoReset =true }; _timer. Elapsed+ = (sender, EventArgs) ={_log.            Info (DateTime.Now);        }; }         Public voidStart () {_timer. Start (); }         Public voidStop () {_timer. Stop (); }    }    classProgram { Public Static voidMain () {varLogcfg =NewFileInfo (AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory +"Log4net.xml");            Xmlconfigurator.configureandwatch (LOGCFG); Hostfactory.run (x={X.service<TownCrier> (s ={s.constructusing (name=Newtowncrier ()); s.whenstarted (TC=TC.                    Start ()); s.whenstopped (TC=TC.                Stop ());                });                X.runaslocalsystem (); X.setdescription ("Sample topshelf Host"); X.setdisplayname ("Stuff"); X.setservicename ("Stuff");        }); }    }}

Log4net.xml:

<?XML version= "1.0" encoding= "Utf-8"?><log4net>  <Appendername= "Rollinglogfileappender"type= "log4net." Appender.rollingfileappender ">    <!--Log Path -    <paramname= "File"value= "Logs\"/>    <!--whether to append the log to the file -    <paramname= "Appendtofile"value= "true"/>    <!--Log retention days -    <paramname= "Maxsizerollbackups"value= "Ten"/>    <!--whether the log file name is fixed -    <paramname= "Staticlogfilename"value= "false"/>    <!--the log file name format is: 2008-08-31.log -    <paramname= "Datepattern"value= "Yyyy-mm-dd&quot;". log&quot; "/>    <!--log scrolling by date -    <paramname= "Rollingstyle"value= "Date"/>    <Layouttype= "log4net." Layout.patternlayout ">      <paramname= "Conversionpattern"value= "[%d] [%p] [%c]-%m%n" />    </Layout>  </Appender>  <!--Console Display Log -  <Appendername= "Coloredconsoleappender"type= "log4net."

Layout.patternlayout ">      <Conversionpatternvalue= "%n%date{hh:mm:ss,fff} [%-5level]%m" />    </Layout>    <Filtertype= "log4net." Filter.levelrangefilter ">      <paramname= "Levelmin"value= "Info" />      <paramname= "Levelmax"value= "Fatal" />    </Filter>  </Appender>  <Root>    <!--(High) OFF > FATAL > ERROR > WARN > INFO > DEBUG > All (Low) -    < Levelvalue= "All" />    <Appender-refref= "Coloredconsoleappender"/>    <Appender-refref= "Rollinglogfileappender"/>  </Root></log4net>

3. Execute, display a time message every 5 seconds in the console and log files:

4. Service-related operations:
Installation: TopshelfDemo.exe Install
