I created a Console Application service using Topshelf 4.2.1. to use it like a windows service. I am using Dapper to get data and update Microsoft SQL Server, I get the connections strings from app.config as well as constants in (folder path, folder limit) The Console Application works perfect but when I install as a service, it starts but not doing anything.
enter code here class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var exitCode = HostFactory.Run(x =>
{
x.Service<EmailMonitoring>(s =>
{
s.ConstructUsing(emailMonitoring => new EmailMonitoring());
s.WhenStarted(emailMonitoring => emailMonitoring.Start());
s.WhenStopped(emailMonitoring => emailMonitoring.Stop());
});
x.RunAsLocalSystem();
x.SetServiceName("EmailMonitoring");
x.SetDisplayName("Email Monitoring");
x.SetDescription("Description");
});
int exitCodeValue = (int)Convert.ChangeType(exitCode, exitCode.GetTypeCode());
Environment.ExitCode = exitCodeValue;
}
}
enter code here private readonly Timer _timer;
public EmailMonitoring()
{
_timer = new Timer(1000 * int.Parse(Helper.AppSetVal("intervalSeconds"))) { AutoReset = false };
// when testing, use smaller interval and autoreset = false like example below
// _timer = new Timer( 1000 ) { AutoReset = false };
_timer.Elapsed += TimerElapsed;
}
private void TimerElapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
ServiceHelper.ProcessNewRecords();
}
public void Start()
{
_timer.Start();
}
public void Stop()
{
_timer.Stop();
}
