C#/.NET: Detect whether program is being run as a service or a console application [duplicate]

Answer 1

I ended up detecting whether or not I was in a console application by checking Console.IsErrorRedirected. It returned "false" for console apps, and "true" for the non-console apps I tested. I could have also used IsOutputRedirected.

I imagine there are circumstances where these will not be accurate, but this worked well for me.
