In .NET Core 3.0, Microsoft has added a template called a Worker Service. This template isn't just for creating Windows Services, but that is a big benefit. In this video, we will look at how to create a worker service, how to configure it, and how to deploy it to a machine.

I used to use the console app as a Windows task scheduler but I've noticed that it pop up the command prompt everytime it run. Have u found a way to disable this?

@clintaionasmith 3 года назад

FYI - Deleting the service and files is not necessary to update the executable. You can just stop the service, publish your changes, and then start the service up again. Aside from that this is an EXCELLENT tutorial!

@IAmTimCorey 3 года назад

True, but by deleting the files, you ensure you don't leave any scraps behind from the old application. It is a good practice to have.

@clintaionasmith 3 года назад

@@IAmTimCorey That is a valid point although perhaps only really necessary once you're ready to deploy to production. During development and testing it seems a bit excessive, and I've had cases where deleting a service failed and the only resolution was to reboot. I guess I'm just a bit more gun shy about creating/deleting services more than absolutely necessary.

@AllenMichaelsVlogs 4 года назад

Absolutely fantastic! I wish there is a second part to this on how to add the installer.

@IAmTimCorey 4 года назад

What do you mean "add the installer"? You can run the command I showed on screen for installing the service on any machine. What are you looking for beyond that?

@AllenMichaelsVlogs 4 года назад

@@IAmTimCorey in my situation I would have a system admin do the installation and they want to use the installer and not the command tool

@AlexKidd4Fun 4 года назад

@@AllenMichaelsVlogs In the past, I was able to generate an MSI (Microsoft Installer) that would deploy the bits and set up services using Flexera Installshield. It might not work for the project type demonstrated here as their website doesn't list support for .net Core 3 yet but I suppose it's only a matter of time. Give that a look - it was very simple to set up the package once compiled.

Is there a way to automatically install and start the service aswell? Nice vid btw very helpful! I want to use the worker to automatically add and commit the changes in svn, do you think this is a good practice?

@robertosterberg 2 года назад

Hi Tim great video you mention the possibility to trigger the service based on an event in a database could you elaborate on that. Is that done on the DB side using events or sound really interesting. Love you r videos i get so much inspiration from this keep it up!

@IAmTimCorey 2 года назад

A worker service can monitor the database for changes by just calling a small query on a schedule. If something has changed, it can get the new data and do something. For example, if you had a People table, you could do a "select max(id) from People", which would return the last identifier issued. Let's say the first time it is called, you get back id number 10. If you run it again and you get back id number 12, you know that you have at least one new record. You can run "select * from People where id > 10" to get the new records.

@fikerehman9614 4 года назад

Very useful. Please keep up the good work. Only thing I noticed that you could use string interpolation to make code more readable. instead of saying Log.info("Web Site Status: {statusCode}", statusCode); could do : Log.info($"Website Status: {statusCode} "); notice the '$'

@IAmTimCorey 4 года назад

Actually, there is a difference. I pointed it out briefly. If you do it my way, a structured logger like Serilog can pull out that data and store it separately so that you can query on it later in the logs (where statusCode = 401 or temperature > 50 would be examples). If you use string interpolation, you only get a string stored in your log statement so you would need to do a regex match to try to pull out the values.

@BobDenny 4 года назад

Who knew? It just happens I am converting a console app / service that I wrote years ago from .NET Framework to .NET Core. I did the service bare metal using InstallUtil. That's fine, but It appears that this will accomplish the same thing in COre, and give me a Linux Daemon on top of it, with much simpler code. I am just lucky to have stumbled across this !!
