There are a few windows service projects in our codebase that follow this model, and I just want to make sure it's not a bug. In this model, there is at least one static "timer" class, managed by a System.Timers.Timer, that retrieves batches of data to process from the database. A Semaphore is initialized as a static member. After re...
I've build a Windows service that allows a user to choose a DSN and the service will access it and peform tasks on it. The code works without error when running under a test command line application, and fails when running as the actual Windows Service. My question is, are Windows Services not allowed to access User DSN? Is there any ...
I'm installing a Windows Service using the ServiceProcessInstaller and ServiceInstaller classes. I've used the ServiceProcessInstaller to set the start type, name, etc. But how do I set the recovery action to Restart? I know I can do it manually after the service is installed by going to the Services management console and changing the...
Hi guys We've written a Windows Service that needs to send an HTTP request in order to post some xml data to another server. When we test the code via a console application, it works fine, but when we test it by running it as a service, it errors on this line of code: var httpWebRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(Uri); The e...
I am currently working on a python program which runs as a windows service using win32service and win32serviceutil. The service runs as it should and even after using py2exe, everything is fine (the service monitors target folder(s) and autmotically FTP's newly created files to specified FTP location). I would like, however, to add some ...

Hi, I'm new to windows services and... you guessed it, I’m a bit stuck. Let me paint the picture – I’m running a timed service that use an OdbcDataReader and SqlBulkCopy to (1) archive the data (2) normalize the data on a SQL box. When I run this code in a windows form proj. it works fine. Then, when I change the DNS’s Data Directory P...
I've developed a server software for .net 3.5 which I tried to convert to a windows service application. So I created a new Windows service project and added all my classes. But I can't compile it because it doesn't understand the lambda expressions i've used. I've checked so that all references are imported. But it seems like it isn't p...
I've been having major problems with WCF, which are not amenable to any wisdom I can find. I've tried basicHttpBinding, wsHttpBinding, netTcpBinding (with the Net.Tcp service running on both machines). The behaviour can be boiled down to: works on same machine, when running in debugger, standalone (non-service) process, Windows service...
Hello, I'm in the process of creating a C# application which will monitor changes made to the registry and write them back to the registry next time the user logs on. So far I've got it monitoring changes, reporting them, writing the hive, key and value to a text file. I'm now at the point where I need to take them values out of the f...

When the Windows service is stopped, I would like to be able have the WCF S...

I have a WCF service that uses the NetTcpBinding and is running within a Windows service. Remote clients connect to this service. So far, I have defined the endpoint to use "localhost". If the host machine has multiple network adapters, will it receive messages on all adapters? Would it be better to assign the machine's host name to t...
