I have a Windows Service that watches a directory using the FileSystemWatch er. When an Excel spreadsheet gets added to that directory, the Windows Service calls a routine that opens the Excel spreadsheet and does some processing (on a seperate thread). After processing is done on the spreadsheet, it is closed and the reference is set to Nothing. However, if you go to the Task Manager, the Excel process is still there. Each time the Service processes a new Excel spreadsheet, a new Excel process is in the Task Manager. Even after stopping the Service, the Excel processes are still in the Task Manager
How do you get the Excel processes in the Task Manager to go away? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

The code quits the Excel application and sets the reference to Nothing. What else should I need to do? For example
Dim oXL as Excel.Applicati o
Dim oWB as Excel.WorkBoo
'Do some processing stuf
'Before the routine exits, the below is don
oWB = Nothin
oXL.Quit(
oXL = Nothin
I thought that would be enough, but the Excel Processes are still in the Task Manager.

Don't do Office automation in a service, that's not recommended:

I notice that the code above does not close the workbook. Is that
necessary?
I'm haven't done much office automation, but have you tried calling the
ReleaseComObjec t method?
Marshal.Release ComObject(oXL)
Just some thoughts

I created a Windows Service (written in VB.NET) that uses a FileSystemWatcher
to monitor a directory for file creation. When files with a certain
extension are created in the directory, the file is opened and read
(something is done with the contents). Then the file is moved to a backup
directory. Everything works fine when the coe runs as a standard Windows app,
but when I run the code as a Windows Service, I get the following error when...

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.

Hey all,
I wrote a Windows Service. When I test it on my developement machine (winXP)
it works fine. It starts ok, never crashes, etc.
When I install the service on another machine (win2000) it *sometimes*
crashes upon starting. The progressbar you get when you manually start the
server will very slowly progress, and when it hits 100% after 2 minutes or
something I get the error 'The service could not be started because it did

Suppose you have one domain, filled with a couple of users. What needs to be
done now is I need to start a windows application from a webform by pressing
a button on the webform (for example).
The problem is that the user who "owns" the service is always the ASPNET
account. That's not good since you don't see the actual application (because
it's owned by ASPNET). I've tried changed the processmodel section in the

Dear all
I have a Windows Service that retrieves some data as XML, applies an
XSLT to produce a CSV which is saved to the filesystem as a text file.
This all works fine. Depending upon the configuration, this file is
then
1. copied to another location
2. attached to an e-mail message
3. FTPed to a particular location

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.

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,...
