@Garth,
I have the same issue as I need to run the long-running task in background on user's request from asp.net MVC web application.
I am completely lost by abundant articles in web with options (Quartz, Hangfire, Named Pipes, Azure Jobs, ...). I thought windows services as my best solution as the existing project is already having one windows services running every 4 hours.

My requirement is to create another listener/method (whatever we call it) where I can send message from my web application on users' request. This method will basically perform the actions based on the DB table (the real task will be done based on table flag) so I just need to give order to my service method to check the db entry to perform new task)

Note: Requirement is there can be simultaneous call to the service from different web users at same time.

Your comment and/or reference articles will be highly appreciated !!!
