I've written a windows service am unsure how we're meant to handle
fatal errors once the service is already up and running. It also
doesn't seem to be mentioned in any of the books or examples I've
seen.
Most example services, if they encounter an error, simply stop
processing but stay active.
The route I've taken to avoid that is, on catching a fatal exception,
I create a ServiceControll er instance and issue a Stop command. This
then shuts down the service properly.
On the other hand, I'd also like to be able to restart the service.
It stands to reason I can't issue a stop followed by testing the
status and then starting it again ... because of course my own process
can't finish stopping while I'm in it waiting :)
So, what are we meant to do?
(Unfortunately, in this circumstance, we're interfacing with an
unmanaged DLL that, when it has an error, doesn't come back properly
until you restart the process that has called it).

I recommend throwing (or rethrowing) a fatal exception. Then, the service
control manager will handle the exception and possibly restart the service
as specified in the "Recovery" tab of the service definition. Why reinvent
the wheel? This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Ahoy, Folks!
I've been looking all over for this, but I just can't seem to shake any
documentation out of the MSDN or from Google. I've reviewed every .NET
article on developing Windows Services in the MSDN I've located.
I'm developing a Windows Service application. This service reads its
configuration data from the system registry (HKLM) where it was deposited by
another "manager" application. No problems there.

I have a C# Windows Service running as the NetworkService account because it

As part of the service's initialization, I want the service to terminate, if

However - I get an exception thrown saying access denied. If I switch to

I want my service to terminate automatically if the specified parameters are
invalid. I tried to use a servicecontroller component to attach to the
service, but I think that it's failing because it's being called in the
OnStart event (where I validate the parameters) and the service isn't fully
running yet. How can I stop my service from within the service itself?
Thanks.

Hello,
I would like to know what's the best way to restart one service. I
would like to do it from the service itself. Is this possible?
I try it with
ServiceController.stop()
ServiceController.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)
ServiceController.start()
but doesn´t works. It seems waitforstatus instruction is the last

My software relies on a third party data provider to a propretary database.
In turn the third party database relies on a Windows Service that runs on
the server to supply the data... The problem is that from time to time this
service dies without warning.
Is there any way that I can write another small service or similar (using
vb.net) that checks at regular intervals that the service is running and
restart it if it isn't???

Hi Everybody,
i need to restart a windows service made with c# when an fixed event is
raised.
So to test it, I've added a servicecontroller to my service, and in the
creation method, i've created a new thread to try to stop it.
This is my code:
public Service1()

I have written two windows services:
- service A does some crunching of local data files and uploads them to
a central processing computer via http.
- service B monitors a manifest file on a webserver to see if service A
needs to be updated.
What service B does if it sees their is an update for service A is to
download a new copy of the service A executable, stop service A,
replace the executable with the new copy, and start service B...

Hi...
Following the samples online, we implemented a windows service in .Net.
Like most services, there's a worker thread actually doing stuff in the
background. The problem we've run into is how to get the service to exit
when the worker thread has a fatal error *and* get the SCM to invoke the
auto-restart configuration?
The worker thread can error out while the parent thread in the server
process chugs along. We can set the exit...

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
