Windows Service Shutdown

I have written a service in vb.net that can take several minutes to perform
one iteration of its process loop.
When windows is being shutdown is it possible to prevent windows from
stopping my service whilst it is in the middle of its processing?
I assume I would need some code in the OnShutdown event but what code?

Thanks

Hi

I think we may try to call the AbortSystemShutdown in the OnShutDown
function of our service.

Here is a few article about shutdown.
