Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting.WindowsServices .NET Core Support

[duthiega]

Is there any plan to upgrade the above assembly to support .NET Core ?

When trying to build a .NET Core Windows service I'm experiencing problems when inheriting from WebHostService which in turn Inherits from ServiceBase and receive the following error:

The type 'ServiceBase' is defined in an assembly that is not referenced. You must add a reference to assembly 'System.ServiceProcess, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a'. ConsoleApp1..NETCoreApp,Version=v1.1

ServiceBase isn't ported to .NET Core. Would be good to file that on github.com/dotnet/corefx

See: https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/issues/6024

Backlogging until the required API is added

[Tratcher]

The API has been added: dotnet/corefx#22920
Bumping from backlog for re-triage.

We should look at this for 2.1 now that the work is done.

Any chance of this making 2.0 @davidfowl as this is a major part of us not being able to easily move to dotnet core? We have moved to ASPNET Core 1.1 was just waiting for a good way to move the services to running against dotnet core without major changes.

[davidfowl]

2.0 is done.

[andymac4182]

No worries. :)

@JunTaoLuo this should be pretty straightforward (i.e. ~1hr job) to cross compile. If it takes more, let me know and we'll punt/close.

Hi! Does the development team have an estimated date when Hosting.WindowsServices will be available on .NET Core 2.0?
Thank you!

It will be added in the 2.1 release. We are discussing plans on bringing it back to 2.0 as well see #1229.
