Need to create sample worker service in .Net 6.0

Question

Can anyone help me to create a sample worker service in .Net 6.0 ? If any sample is there please provide me

Answer 1

Did you see the doc/sample at : Worker Services in .NET ?

Answer 2

See the following GitHub repository and article which is not .NET 6 specific as Worker Service projects have been around since .NET Core 3.0. And if you have a Pluralsight account see Building ASP.NET Core Hosted Services and .NET Core Worker Services which 202 people gave a five star rating.

Answer 3

I commented the sample code

namespace App.WorkerService
{
    public class Worker : BackgroundService
    {
        private readonly ILogger<Worker> _logger;

        public Worker(ILogger<Worker> logger)
        {
            _logger = logger;
        }

        // this is call to run your service code
        protected override async Task ExecuteAsync(CancellationToken stoppingToken)
        {
            // loop until asked to quit
            while (!stoppingToken.IsCancellationRequested)
            {
                _logger.LogInformation("Worker running at: {time}", DateTimeOffset.Now);

                // place you code here
                // typically the first step is a call (poll)  for work

                // add a delay for loop if required 
                await Task.Delay(1000, stoppingToken);
            }
        }
    }
}

You should show the code with the error. The docs are pretty clear
