Hi All,
After trying the Windows Service sample from MSDN, I don't get what the
windows service class is better than a class handling and raising events
itself.
If using the System.ServiceP rocess.ServiceB ase, I can't get events in other
classes, but only in Event Log.
I'm trying to build a server class. Please advise me if I should use a
service class or not.
Thanks for any tips,
Anony

Hi,
The protocol used in communication between the Service Control Manager and a
Windows Service is quite complex. Its implementation therefore is not that
simple and straightforward . The ServiceBase class already implements this
protocol as well as, I suppose, several other helper functions, enabling you
to concentrate on the functionality that will be valuable for service users.
It is also unclear to me how events in other classes and Event Log entries
are related in your post. These are two very different beasts. What you are
trying to accomplish?

Thanks Dmitriy for the explanation.
I'm trying to biuild a class that raises lots events.
Other classes need the events to process something.
Someone gave me an idea to use the Windows Service. I found it not very
useful, but have doubt if I missed something.
Kind regard,
Anony

I am trying to control a Windows Service via a Web Service interface.
(I am developing in .NET2003) I am using the ServiceController object
which allows me to read the state of the services with no problems.
However, I am not able to start or stop the service unless I go
through the process of impersonating an administrative user. (See
MSDN KB 306158)

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service?
That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact
with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by,
and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be
used in the UI - no service required.

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was
running?
We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this
service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped
or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running.
I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the
same service on another machine.

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway.
Why do I need to rename my project to the service name?
Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name?
Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name?
Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

Hi,
I created a web service that I want to host in windows service. The
problem is that if I host it as windows service it does not use the
configuration file. I have to define the binding, endpoint etc.
programmatically in the Program.cs file.
Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
