.NET C# Windows Service stop() problem

[Cappamontana]

Hi,

We have a .Net project containing 1 Windows Application and 3 Windows services. The project is quite complex and is still in development. The services can be started and stopped by using the application. Also there are some timers in it which triggers the service on a specific time to start (scheduled). When the service done it stops itself so the resources come free.Though it is running fine since 4-5 months, now and than we get an error like:

System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot stop RIAnalyzer service on computer '.'. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: De service kan momenteel geen besturingsberichten accepteren -English: The service isn't able to accept system messages-
   --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
   at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController.Stop()
   at RankInspectorController.Form1.timer4_Tick(Object sender, EventArgs e)
 

It seems like the service is too bussy to handle the stop/start request. But it shouldn't! How can we pretend this from happening? I already tried to abort the Thread.

Are you sure while stopping time service is finshed or not?

Yes I'm pretty sure. But what I want to achieve is that when the service is done, it stops it self. Also when the application(frontend) tells the service to stop, it just stops.
