Dashboard: Can not find the target method

this post was an eye opener,

Summary of my experience:

  1. if you are working on a console/windows service application.

The best option is to wrap the application with a “OWIN self-hosting” to host the dashboard/console.This keeps all refrences wrapped into one project, making sure the application that hosts the dashboard reference the assembly in which target method is defined.

example

protected static IDisposable WebApplication;
    private static int Main(string[] args)
    {
		StartWebServer();
        // start your windows service
    }

    public static void StartWebServer()
    {
        WebApplication = WebApp.Start<WebPipeline>("http://localhost:5000");
    }

    public static void StopWebserver()
    {
        WebApplication.Dispose();
    }

    public class WebPipeline
    {
        public void Configuration(IAppBuilder app)
        {
            app.UseHangfire(config =>
            {
                config.UseSqlServerStorage("<connection string or its name>");
                config.UseServer();
            });
        }
    }
}
