Could not stop C# Windows Service with Server Explorer

[Marco Liedekerken]

Hi,

When I try to stop my C# Windows Service I get the message "Couldn't perform
the requested operation for service ....".
Other posts suggest that it has something todo with the config file (putting
RemotingConfiguration.Configure(AppDomain.CurrentD omain.SetupInformation.Con
figurationFile) in the OnStart of the service or putting the file in the
<%WINDIR%\system32> directory would resolve the problem ).
I don't have a normal config file (only a settings.xml file which is not
used when stopping the service) so I don't know what the problem is for me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Marco

Sounds like your code is hitting some kind of deadlock/infinite loop in the
OnStop method. Have you tried debugging or tracing to lock down where the
error is occuring?
