Constantin Zheltikov

Hi All!
My service need wait for completion some working threads when it has
receiving stop command, i.e. it need call something like SetServiceStatu s
with current state SERVICE_STOP_PE NDING. But i cannot find analogue
SetServiceStatu s in .NET Framework. How to solve this problem?

Hello,

Thanks for your post. Currently there is no built in functionality to delay
the timeout of a Windows service shutdown. A couple of potential
workarounds is to platform invoke all of the Win32 service APIs and create
your own ServiceBase class that implements
dwWaitHint or dwCheckPoint in SetServiceStatu s. The other workaround is to
create a true Win32 service that then calls your .Net process or dll.

Please check out this reference:
http://discuss.develop.com/archives/...DOTNET&P=51929

As far as I know, in the Whidbey version of the CLR, the OnStop method will
be executed in an async call, so it will no longer tie up the underlying
service command dispatcher thread. Also, we will be exposing a way to
update the service status.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any problems or concerns.

Have a nice day!

Windows service interaction with WinForms app?

by: deko | last post by:

When to use a privileged user thread rather than a windows service? That's the question raised in a previous post . It was suggested that if the service needs to interact with a WinForms app (which is the UI used to adjust the actions taken by, and the schedule of the service), then a privileged user thread should be used in the UI - no service required. But... "A windows service enables the creation of long-running executable

Check if a Windows service running

by: tshad | last post by:

What would be a good way to check programmatically whether a service was running? We have a service that dies periodically and I need to check to see if this service is running. I know how to check to see if the status is in stopped or running mode. But that doesn't tell me if it is actually running. I need to know this so that if it happens I can programmatically start the same service on another machine.

Windows Service Help

I'm really starting to hate writing services -- or trying to, anyway. Why do I need to rename my project to the service name? Why do I need to set the "ServiceName" property to my service name? Why do I need to set a property within my code to the service name? Are all these required or am I just doing this for consistency purposes?

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. 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,...
