How do we specify LoaderOptimizations when we are building a Windows Service, we don't have our "Main" method as we would otherwise use In other words, when we have a simple console application we can: [LoaderOptimization(LoaderOptimization.MultiDomainHost)] private static void Main(string[] args) { } but for a Service, we implement...
--Update-- I have to admit that I was sceptical it would work... but below is the code. I had to make a minor change to the code you suggested. Whenever I tried IPC$ it would return a 53 result code, even though I'm sure the share exists. So at the suggestion of another website I removed the share and just the computer name and this ...
I'm working on an ASP.NET MVC web application that will be deployed across multiple load-balanced servers. With this setup, a user might have one request served by server A and the next request will be served by ServerB or ServerC. We don't want to store Session Data in the database, as we're trying to minimise database hits where ever...
Hi I'm trying to create a Windows Service in VS2010 but can't seem to add System.Web as reference. When I browse for it and add it manually I get an exclamation mark over the reference. I've tried adding it for other projects and it works fine, just not for a windows service project. Is there a reason for this? I need it to call System....
We have written a custom windows service (VB.NET, .NET Framework 2.0) that takes a while to start up, because it uploads sales. Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String) -- upload sales here End Sub That fact that it takes a long time to start up is fine, but that generates a time-out error in Windows and another progr...
We have an number of old visual C++ 6 windows services that are currently running on a single server. The problem seems to be that all of the service seem to utilise only a single core. (There are 4 cores) Isn't the multi core utilisation (on windows server 2003) supposed to be optimised by the OS? ...

I have a Windows Service written in C#. It includes a standalone console mode as well, for debugging purposes. It works fine on almost every computer it's been run on, but we ran into a situation where this service locks up when you try to start it, and then it gets killed because of timeout. But when running it in console mode on the...
I've seen several posts that essentially state that UI components shouldn't run as a service. I understand the rational that no one can respond to UI events etc. But the fact remains that are are many automation tasks that are only possible with Windows forms. Here is a couple of great examples: I would like to build a url crawler se...
I'm looking for the best way to use a Windows Service to manage a group of objects for use by several different client programs.

Here is the situation, I have a worker process that is automating Internet Explorer (via AxSHDocVw). This worker process is launched via a custom Windows service on the OS shell. I need to run somewhere between 4-8 of these worker processes to handle each batch of work in timely manner. I really don't want to have to tear down and recrea...
HI, We have a device on the field which sends TCP packets to our server once a day. I have a Windows service which constantly listens for those packets. The code in the service is pretty much a carbon copy from the MSDN example (Asynchronous Server Socket Example) – the only difference being our implementation doesn't send anything back...

Hi All, I've written a windows service in C# which for the most part sits very nicely and processes away, but it seems that with load it becomes liable to stop unexpectedly. It basically feeds records from a database with a timestamp, queues them fires off another process at the correct time. It just stops completely, doesnt raise any...
