❔ ServiceBase question: is Main() or OnStart() my entry point?

I have a program that extends

ServiceBase

ServiceBase

. I am given a method to override called

OnStart()

OnStart()

. When my app is running as a windows service, is this the entry point? The tutorial I followed also has me calling

ServiceBase.Run()

ServiceBase.Run()

in my

Main()

Main()

method.

The reason I'm asking is because I'm trying to decide where I should set up my logger. My app also needs to run as a console app. My

Main()

Main()

method has a

Environment.UserInteractive

Environment.UserInteractive

branch. If user interactive, I run as a console app. If not user interactive, I call

ServiceBase.Run()

ServiceBase.Run()

. If this is the incorrect approach, feedback would be much appreciated!
