Windows Service and logging off

Does anyone know of a reason that a Windows service written in C# would
prevent the system from rebooting or logging off? The service starts another
thread which displays a form (processing is done in the form so as to not
interfere with the service's thread execution). Stopping the service is the
only way I've found to yield and let the system reboot or log off. I tried
using the SystemEvents.Se ssionEnding event and that works great for shutting
down, but I don't want to stop the service if the user is just logging off.
Any advice???

Thanks,
Todd

Hello, I have a Windows Service which executes some code each 2 seconds. Every 2 seconds I want to log the result in a Windows Forms application. What is the best approach? I think it is .NET remoting, but when the "client" application is not started, no logging has to be done. So the service has to know if there is a client application to log to. How can I do

What is the best way that anyone has found to capture errors inside a windows service? It's pointless to use compilation constants, as you can't "debug" a service very easily, and you can't pass in a command line arguement (can you?) to tell it to do something special like capture errors to a file while it's running. Has anyone figured out any good ways to do this type of run-time error capturing? Basically, if I were building a...

I am attempting to use the AppDomain.UnhandledException event in a Windows Forms app and also in a Windows Service. But the event doesn't seem to be called. In a Windows Forms app, the event IS called but only if I run the app through the IDE. If run standalone (release or debug build, it doesn't matter), the event handler is never called. In the Windows Forms app, I changed it to use the Application.ThreadException event and that...

Hi all, I have used the win32com libraries to set up a service called MyService under Windows. So far, so good. Now I need to run multiple copies of the service on the same machine. I also have that working. For monitoring and logging, I'd like each instance of the service to know it's own identity (MyService1, MyService2, etc.) But I can't quite seem to grasp how to do this. In the code below, the command line parameter "-i"...

These days i'm creating a windows service in c# which reads some data from a file and saves it in a database. The data in the file changes every minute. I am using FileSystemWatcher object which monitors that file for LastWrite event. The problem is that after the reading of file and writing the data in the database the service quits unexpectedly.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
