what is the difference between HostFactory.Run and HostFactory.New

Question

I've a need to use topshelf in the project I'm in and have a simple question I hope. Everything works just fine when I'm using HostFactory.Run, but I thought that it seemed more reasonable to use HostFactory.New by just reading the name on the function and that is used here: http://docs.topshelf-project.com/en/latest/configuration/config_api.html.

However in the more simple example, http://docs.topshelf-project.com/en/latest/configuration/quickstart.html, the HostFactory.Run is used insted of HostFactory.New. So what is the difference?

Answer 1

Run pretty much just contains:

return New(configureCallback).Run(); 

So Run is just convenience method to create and immediately run the instance instead of just creating the instance as New does.
