Cant get the timer working with windows Service.

I cant get the timer working with the windows service. I have the
timer set to 3600 ms. It polls only for Start and Stop but not at
intervals. The timer1.tick event handler is called at the
initializecompo nent()
OnStart () enables the timer1 and OnStop() disables the timer1.

Can anybody help?

Did you add the event handler?

timer = new System.Timers.T imer(interval);
timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHan dler( this.ServiceTim er_Tick );

Oh, and you'll want to do that in the constructor /after/
InitializeCompo nent()

I have a Windows Service with a timer but the .Tick event is not being fired/called. Don't know what code to include...I enabled and started the timer...I have the exact same code in a Windows form and it works fine, but in the service: nothing. .... this.components = new System.ComponentModel.Container(); this.tmrTimer = new System.Windows.Forms.Timer(this.components); // // tmrTimer //

Hi all, I have developed a windows service using the windows service project template in VS.NET. I have used three controls in the service, a timer, performance counter and a message queue control. The service will "sleep" for 'n' seconds using the timer control and whenever the timer_elapsed event occurs, I use the performance counter object to determine availability of few resources. Based on the availability of resources, I use the...

For some reason my service works fine except that it will create the file in my c drive, but will not write to the file. Sorry if this is a duplicate post, i have found some that ask the same question - but noone seems to answer. Do i need to do anything specific to write to a text file from a windows service, much appreciated.

I have a class that instantiates two Timer objects that fire at different intervals. My class can be instantiated within a Windows Form or from a Windows Service. Actions performed by one of the event handlers may take longer than the interval for either of the timers, so it's possible for multiple events to fire "simultaneously" and for events to queue up. I'm attempting to get the timers to sync on some reference type object, or use...

I have a .net service that runs a System.Threading.Timer. The delegate points to the function that the service should execute when the timer elapses. Problem: The timer is not ticking. I have never used this timer. I used the documentation from Microsoft as a guide, but I cannot get this timer to work.

I have just put together a vb.net app and now need to provide it to users. This application needs to run the code in a sub every 60 seconds from a Windows Service application. I have the functionality of the sub working fine but I cannot figure out how to run the timer. The sub DoSomethingHere() needs to run every 60 seconds. It doesn't need to change the interval or anything like that. It just needs to run every 60 seconds as long as...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
