How can I run ASP.NET MVC within a Windows Service

I'm working on an application that requires me to host a WCF REST Web App using Windows Service. Now since it is going to be a bit more complicated than just a small API, I would like leverage MVC capabilities as a lot of things would be lot easier if done using the 'Controller' way (if I can say so). I'm don't have deep knowledge of MVC and Windows Service.

So far, I've found only two links here & here, that are somewhat related to what I want, but still not there. Could anyone please point me to a working example or create a small demo? TIA.

Based on your comments, it is clear that you are wanting to run REST-based web-services, self-hosted, on both Linux and Windows.

The recommended way to do this is to use the new ASP.NET Core platform, running on .NET Core.

Microsoft provide a good tutorial here: https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/tutorials/first-web-api.html
