Hi, I am writing a service which takes a long time to stop after the OnStop call is given by the Services Snap-in. The problem is I cannot cut down on the time that it takes to Stop. The Service snap-in gives me the error saying that the service did not respond to the Stop call in a timely fashion. So is there any method by which I can get around this problem. Thanks Prasad

Can somebody explain to me why my process continues to run after I halt execution? This plays havoc with debugging. I expect to be starting a new instance at the beginning of a loop and the first break point hit is thousands of itterations into the process (from a previous instance). I get a very random step behavior. Know I am watching a database continue to be updated 10 minutes after I stopped the front-end process. I have to stop IIS...

Hi My interface calls a C++ dll that runs a slow calculations. So I call the dll inside a BackgroundWorker thread, and that all works fine. But how can I stop the thread if the user wants to? I can not tell the dll to stop so CancelAsync() will not work? I need a way to simply kill the "thread" since nothing in it will be used if the user wants to cancel

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
