Windows Service (C++/CLI) with MFC

[kieferzhen]

I want to write a windows service (myService) by using C++/CLI (Visual Studio 2005). This myService can use MFC function for OLE Automation.

Just for a first try, I did the following project configuration and coding:

• Creating a Windows Service under C++/CRL
• Adding ServiceInstaller with start type automatic and sereviceprocessInstaller with Account Local System
• Setting MFC in a Shared DLL
• Setting Common Language Runtime Support (/clr)
• Setting Multithreaded-Debug-DLL (/MDd)
• Adding #include <afxdisp.h> in stdafx.h

Compile is always successful. But when I use myServie.exe –Install to install my windows service in Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt, I always get the following exceptions

When debugging:
Unhandled exception at 0x78374588 (mfc80ud.dll) in myService.exe: 0xC0000005: Access Violation reading location 0x00000000.

In Visual Studio 2005 Command Prompt:
Unhandled exception: System.AccessViolationException
Attempted to read or write protected memory.
This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.
at _wWinMainCRTStartup()

Does anyone know the reason? Where am I wrong?

Many thanks for any help!

Trying to mix MFC and clr sounds to me like an extremely bad idea. I do not think there is anything that can be done with MFC that can't be done with .NET, you are mixing a ancient technology that is basically just a bloat code wrapper with the current technology.
