AspNetCoreApp

ASP.NET Core app (TargetFramework .NetFramework) hosted in a Windows Service, with a reference to an .NetStandard project.

Installing the service

1. Publish the wep app to the outpout folder.
2. To install the service run in the cmd: "AspNetCoreApp.Service --install"
3. Browse http://localhost:5000 to access to the webapp.
4. To uninstall the service run in the cmd "AspNetCoreApp.Service --uninstall"

Workarounds .NetFramework refencing .NetStandard project

Make the .NET Framework project a ProjectReference based project by setting the following property in the project in the csproj:

<RestoreProjectStyle> PackageReference </RestoreProjectStyle>

There is also a good change you will need auto-bindingredirects as well so make sure that is set in your project:

<AutoGenerateBindingRedirects> true </AutoGenerateBindingRedirects>
