Can you display a message box (or any form of notification) from a windows service? Can't get it to work. I used: global::System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox.Show("A fatal error occurred. " + ServiceName + " is now terminating."); but it didn't work and just produced an error. ...
I'd like to setup my WCF services to use an IoC Container. There's an article in the Autofac wiki about WCF integration, but it's showing just an integration with a service hosted in IIS. But my services are hosted in a windows service. Here I got an advice to hook up the opening event http://groups.google.com/group/autofac/browse_thr...
I'm writing a windows service that processes a number of different rss news feeds at regular intervals. These news items will be saved into our database and associated with different objects in the system. Although there is a set specification on what needs to happen, there is no UI component for the customer to verify. What's the best...
So I've been tasked at work to write windows services to replace some old legacy VB6 WinForms apps currently running as services, consistently repeating tasks day-to-day. To give some general background, they have there own state machines built in to handle decision basing and not utilizing threading. A lot of the senior developers here...
Let us imagine for a moment that I have a piece of hardware that can act as an authentication for a user on a given system. I want to write an application in C++ to run as a service, look for this device and if found log the appropriate user in. I believe I have found the API's I would need to use to perform the hardware and service port...
I have a .NET Windows service that appears to be crashing due to C00000005 (access violation--according to Dr Watson). When I attach the VS debugger to it--whether I build it with or without symbols--the VS debugger just stops when the service crashes, instead of stopping to give me a chance to do any investigation. Is that to be expec...
I have a windows service written in .NET 3.5 (c#) with a System.Threading.Timer that spawns several Threads in each callback. These are just normal threads (no Thread Pool) and I've set the IsBackground = true on each thread since I'm only going to be running managed code. When a user stops the service, what happens to all the threads? ...

I have a project that is being built using CruiseControl.NET. The project contains an 'MSBuild task' that runs the build for the project and also the unit tests. The unit test in turn is just a MSBuild 'exec' task that runs an executable. The unit test involves some .NET remoting. And when the unit tests are run through the system comma...

I can attach the VS debugger to services.exe, activate the service application dll and then single step it in the debugger without any problem.

I have 2 Windows services installed. They both have the same configuration for enterprise logging. 1 Windows Service successfully logs to the Application Event Log while the other one does not. The one that does successfully post to the log I see errors being generated. For the service that does not log successfully we see Service St...
Firstly, I am not at all familiar with windows batch file programing. Recently I am curious about how tomcat sets itself as a windows service using a batch file. I downloaded the service.bat file from tomcat 6. However, I still don't understand some part of it. I guess this is the line that the batch actually register the exe file to th...
I'm having a bizarre issue that I haven't seen before and I'm thinking it MUST be something simple that I'm not seeing in my code. I have a project with 2 windows services defined. One I've called DataSyncService, the other SubscriptionService. Both are added to the same project installer. Both use a timer control from System.Timers....
