Apologies again, I'm a beginner programmer who really needs some assistance. I'm in the process of making a desktop app to configure Quartz.NET jobs. With thanks to Selaka Nanayakkara (see here, so far I've been able to make a desktop app (with a GUI) that can configure Quartz.NET to run a simple job on a schedule that, crucially, keeps on working even after I close the app window, which is what I want (amongst other things).
However, when I open the desktop app again, it creates a duplicate hosted service, which is not what I want. I want the GUI to open and then allow me to continue to configure the hosted service that I already created (e.g. adding to and deleting jobs already running). How can I do that?
I've looked on Stack Overflow and I haven't found any answers.
Is the solution as searching for the system if there is a host with X name; if it doesn't exist, create it; if I find it, refer to it as host (or whatever name)?
Or do I need to split the app into a worker service and a controller GUI?
Thank you all.
