Hi,

not very sure what you mean

IF you use a timer and you want to stop the timer while processing you can
do so by disabling the timer while you do the procesing.

Is this what you want?
cheers,

thx for help but no

in my .Elapsed i update a database

When the users exit my software... they close the Windows Service...

But if they do when i update my database i have a serious problem...

so i need to wait that the update is finished to close my windows
service

understand ?

This doesn't sound right. A Windows Service is an application that starts
with the operating system, even when no user is logged on. Yet you are saying
that when users "exit your software" they close the Windows Service....
Could you be more specific?
