A timer that do not work.

MA
Hi all!

I have a webservice that checks for mail every x seconds with a timer.
I had it set up on a win xp computer and it was working fine.

When I recently moved my webservice to a win 2003 server, it seems like the
timer stops working after a while. I have no idea why.

How can it just stop? I´m really out of ideas here and need help. Someone
that have experienced the same problem?

Your web service application is going to stop after some period of
inactivity. Web services are not long running programs; you should probably
use a Windows service or one of any number of available task scheduler
applications.

Ok. Then I really have to change that :)

Is this something thats new for win 2003? When I run my webservice on the
other computer (with win 2000, not xp as I wrote erlier by mistake), it
could be running "forever".. ..I had it up for several weeks only restarting
when the old computer didnt want to run, without problem.

Hi!

As a "first step" i implemented this as a windows applikation. I will use
the Windows Service alternative as an option to my application.

It seems that this is working.

Thanks for giving me an answer to what causing this problem!

I've created a pocketpc app which has a startup form containing a listview. The form creates an object which in turn creates a System.Threading.Timer. It keeps track of the Timer state using a TimerState object similar to the example in the System.Threading.Timer documentation. The method which handles the timer events, among other things, periodically calls a method in this TimerState object which raises an event to the startup form,...

Howdy all, I would like to know how can I insert a Timer object in my class library? This timer object will start and stop in a determinated part or event of my program. I know how to do this in Delphi or using a RAD tool and insert the Timer object in a form, but how to do in C# by hand and in a class library (without form), I don't know.

I have a Timer that I set to go off once a day, but it frequently fails! In order to debug I would like to be able to check, at any moment, whether the Timer is enabled and when it will next Elapse. Is there any way -- whether in my code, or in the O/S -- to determine when a Timer is scheduled to Elapse?

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,...
