c# multiple instances of windows services and file reading

14 New Member
I have a windows service developed in C#.I am reading the connection string from an ini file and also i am reading 3 image file from the bin directory.
now the new requirement is that there will be multiple instances of the same windows service running.
My concern is that will there be any problem when multiple instances will be reading those above mentioned file.I am not writing to any files in the service.
If i try to use lock() when reading from file is taking place,will it be sufficient.
is there any better way to handle, when the common resource (files) is used by multiple instances of the windows services
Regards
Jignesh

Hi, I'm trying to understand a situation where ASP seems to be "blocking" of "queuing" requests. This is on a Win2K Advanced Server, with IIS5. I've seen some posts (e.g., http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&selm=Tidy7IDbDHA.2108%40cpmsftngxa06.phx.gbl) that indicate that ASP will queue up requests when they come in with the same "session".

Is there any way to install multiple instances of the same windows service designed with VS.NET 2003? I tried copying the binaries into a separate folder and then copying registry entries for the original service under a new name but the SCM complains that the executable does not have this service implemented. Please note that I need to have distinct instances of executables installed not merely multiple windows services defined within...

Looking to find any information on how to properly configure multiple instances of DB2. This is on Win2k db2 ver 7.2. I am basically looking for information on how the multiple instance settings should configured to work, how memory is shared or not, etc. I can not seem to find any good links to this information. Thanks, Mike

I currently have a Windows Service that runs Transactions that are very Processor/Memory Intensive. I have a requirement to deploy multiple instances of the Web service on the Same server. Each Instance needs to run in its own process. My current approach to this is to put all the logic into a separate "Worker" assembly and install it into the GAC. I'm then going to create Multiple Windows Services (i.e. MyService1, MyService2 etc..)...

Hi all, I have created a windows service that is working well. Now i want to create the multiple instances of this service on the same box. How could it be possible?. One way that I thought was to create a contructor in the service class that will take the service name as the parameter and that may work but every time i have to recompile the program to add more instances.

I have approximately 5 instances on my test server that are identical to my prod server. On the prod server, when I look at the services file, there is a single entry per instance and everything seems to be working fine. However, on the test server, after creating each instance, there are 4 entries per instance. Is there a need for all 4 of these entries? When I add a new service for each instance like on the prod server and then...

Hi! I know how easy it is to create an NT services using .net framework (using Visual Studio 2003). Here is my problem. I came across a situation where I would like to run 2 instances of a service executable. From what I have seen the Service name has to be specified as a "Name" property for the service.

What is the memory footprint of static methods of a windows app running on a server when the server spins up multiple instances of the application? In my envirionment, we have a Citrix server farm running .Net 2.0 windows apps. Does the framework allow for instances of the same application to access the same memory space where static methods are stored (assuming the security context is the same for each instance)?
