When Endpoint Instance Starts and Stops

NuGet Package:
NServiceBus (7.2 - 7.3)

There are several options available to execute custom code as part of the endpoint's startup/shutdown sequence:

Writing code directly after calling Endpoint.Start or endpointInstance.Stop.
Adding a custom FeatureStartupTask.
Using MEF or Reflection to run code at startup and shutdown in a pluggable way.

The IWantToRunWhenBusStartsAndStops interface is no longer available as part of the NServiceBus package.

Hooking into endpoint lifecycle when using the hosts

Some of the described approaches are not available when hosting an endpoint via the NServiceBus.Host or NServiceBus.Hosting.Azure packages. Visit their respective documentation pages for more information on how to hook into the startup/shutdown sequence:

In the NServiceBus Host.
In the AzureCloudService Host.
