Windows Service : Timer - Should it work ???

[Mr Newbie]

I have a Windows Service and I am using a Timer on it with an interval of 10
seconds. The assembly has full trust and the service is running under the
localmachine permission.

In the timer tick I have the following code.

Dim fs As New System.IO.FileStream("C:\ticking.txt", IO.FileMode.Append)

Dim sw As New System.IO.StreamWriter(fs)

sw.WriteLine("im tickin")

sw.Flush()

///

I have the timer enabled and have used the

Timer1.Start() in the OnStart sub routine.

It does not work, any ideas !!!!!!!!!!!!

Herfried,

If you look in the newsgroup than you can see that it was a windows form
timer.
Please keep the answers to the original thread.

Thanks in advance

[Mr Newbie]

Very sorry to have made this error. I am soldiering on with the other timer
classes now and having not much more success. However, it appears to be very
hit and miss as to if the service will run at all and if debugging allways
works.

Very crap I must say ;-(

Thanks to all for your assistance.
Regards - Mr Newbie
