# Windows Service Host
**Hosting a .NET 5 WebAPI in a Windows Service**
This project serves as a template to scaffold your Swagger Web API projects using .net 5 and hosting it in a Windows Service. As it's built using only .net 5, you can launch the project locally on IIS Express, as a command line tool or as a windows service. Using the windows service approach will let you host it on your server without having to use IIS.
### Create the service
```powershell
C:\>sc create HostedService binpath=C:\WindowsServiceHostTemplate\bin\Debug\net5.0\WindowsServiceHostTemplate.exe
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS
C:\WINDOWS\system32>sc start HostedService
```
### Starting the solution as a console app
You can run the application as a simple console app and see the same results:
```powershell
C:\WindowsServiceHostTemplate\bin\Debug\net5.0>WindowsServiceHostTemplate.exe
