All you need to do is just to use a timer. Note, there are 3 timer classes
in .NET. You need one from namespace System.Timers.
private System.Timers.Timer timer;
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
setup timer
start timer
}
Elapsed Event Handler for timer (object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
open connection
run sp
close connection
restart timer (if was not setup to AutoReset)
}

Hi,
I want my service to sit in an endless loop and run a
stored procedure every say, 1 hour.
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
while(1=1)
{
open connection
run sp
close connection
}
The problem is that the service cannot be started and
bombs out. What am doing wrong here?
