Windows service - resilience when active ?

Problem. Windows service can be stopped/shutdown (and rightly so).

This is fine whilst in 'sleep' mode but when I'm processing the basic
functionality I don't want it to be stopped or shutdown. The
this.CanStop... etc can't be set when the service is up and running.

What options are there.

Any help most appreciated.

Hi, Probably well worn ground, this, but im stumped and need some help, if you could: I'm trying to write some code for a windows service that needs to run in the background polling a server for commands. Certain commands require the service to interact with the application running on the active desktop, currently just to either shut it down or start it.

On my dev machine (XP/Pro with VS.NET 2003) I have been developing a Windows Service and installing it on the local machine by opening the Visual Studio Command Prompt and then executing .

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing a button on the webform (for example). The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the machine.config file to...

Hi, I need to develop a secure Web Service that requires a username and password. One of the requirements is that the WS supports Windows Authentication, meaning accepts the username and password the client used to log on to Windows. The WS then needs to see which Active Directory roles the user belongs to and allow the user (or not) to perform specific tasks with the WS. Can anyone please point me in the right direction as to the

Is there any possible way to get the currently logged in (active) user from within a service? I need the service to start at runtime. I need to capture log on / log off / switch user events.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
