Introduction to the Windows Service development framework-Topshelf

About Topshelf

Topshelf is a framework for hosting services written using the. NET framework. The creation of services is simplified, allowing developers to create a simple console application so can be installed a s a service using Topshelf. The reason for this is simple:it are far easier to debug a console application than a service. And once the application is tested and ready for production, topshelf makes it easy to install the application as a Servic E.

Example first step: Create a new C # console application. Step two: Use Nuget to refer to Topshelf and log4net. Step three: Post the code below.

usingSystem;usingSystem.Collections.Generic;usingSystem.Linq;usingSystem.Text;usingSystem.Threading.Tasks;usingsystem.timers;usingtopshelf;usingtopshelf.builders;usingtopshelf.configurators;usingtopshelf.hostconfigurators;namespacetopshelfstudy{ Public Sealed classTimereporter {Private ReadOnlyTimer _timer;  PublicTimereporter () {_timer=NewTimer ( +) {AutoReset =true }; _timer. Elapsed+ = (sender, EventArgs) = Console.WriteLine ("Current time: {0}", DateTime.Now); }         Public voidStart () {_timer. Start (); }         Public voidStop () {_timer. Stop (); }    }    classProgram {Static voidMain (string[] args) {Hostfactory.run (x={X.service<TimeReporter> (s ={s.constructusing (Settings=NewTimereporter ()); s.whenstarted (tr=tr.                    Start ()); s.whenstopped (tr=tr.                Stop ());                });                X.runaslocalsystem (); X.setdescription ("timed reporting Time"); X.setdisplayname ("time-reporting device"); X.setservicename ("Timereporter");        }); }    }}

Fourth step: Compile, Release build. Copy the Release folder to drive C. Fifth step: Run cmd as Administrator, install, start.

SampleWindowsService.exe Install

Start

SampleWindowsService.exe start

It's also handy if you want to uninstall

SampleWindowsService.exe Uninstall

The effect is as follows:

Finally the Windows Service does not have Console.WriteLine, we can output the output information to the file.

New StreamWriter ("e:\\temp\\log.log"true; Console.setout (SW);
