I'm not an expert here, and I don't quite know what you mean by "save code
coverage".

But, do services actually run in a "session"? My understanding is that the
SessionEvents class deals with interactive sessions (though the docs are
skimpy).

Wouldn't setting "CanShutdown" to true in your service startup code and then
overriding OnShutdown do what you wanted?

(oh, and by the way, the docs on SessionEvents events say: "Because this is
a static event, you must detach your event handlers when your application is
disposed, or memory leaks will result.")

Subject: SessionEnding Event in Window Service

Hi,

I would like to do save code coverage across reboots automatically. So I
created a windows service and handled SessionEnding event to save the code
coverage. As the first step, in the event handler, added simple code to add
a registry key.

This event handler is not getting called on a reboot. The code of the simple
windows service is pasted below. Please note that none of the reg keys
SessionEnding , SessionEnded or Disposed is created.

Can someone help me with this issue?

If this is not the right forum, can u please point me to the right one.

Thanks,

Chitra G

If there is an interactive user logged on, you will get
SessionEndReasons.Logoff instead of SessionEndReasons.SystemShutdown.
If there is none, you will get SessionEndReasons.SystemShutdown.
This at least with XP and Windows 2003 Sp1/Sp2rc.

The workaround is to set a flag when getting Logoff and then if the SCM
calls for stop of your service, the real reason is a shutdown, otherwise
not.
If getting SystemShutdown.. well, it's real.
