This is modified version of original repository https://github.com/taskmatics/aspnet-windows-service. It should allow to use dynamic views (Razor) for self hosted ASP.NET 5/MVC 6 environment.
This repository provides a shell project that you can use to get a Windows service hosting ASP.NET 5 with static files and MVC 6.
For detailed information, please read the following post: How to Host ASP.NET in a Windows Service
This is needed in order to run the install command.
Run git clone https://github.com/gene9/aspnet-windows-service
Run cd aspnet-windows-service\src\AspNetWindowsService
Run npm install -g bower
Run bower update
Run install <optional-service-name> (AspNetWindowsService is used by default for the name)
This command does a few things:
- Publishes the project to an output folder (
.\publish-output) - Installs the Windows service (using the service name provided) and points to the
run.cmdin the published output folder - Starts the service
To view MVC output (from HomeController), launch a browser and navigate to http://localhost:5000/. The port is configurable in code in the src\Program.cs.
Run uninstall <optional-service-name> (The name must match the one used during install.)
This command will stop and uninstall the Windows service (using the service name provided).
