How to determine if starting inside a windows service?

Question

Currently I\'m checking it in the following way:

if (Environment.UserInteractive)
    Application.Run(new ServiceControllerForm(service));
else
    ServiceBase.R         


        

Answer 1

Also, it must be noted, that Environment.UserInteractive always returns true in .NET Core, even if it is running as a Windows Service.

For the time being, best method seems to be this one from ASP.NET Core.
