.NET Windows Service Randomly Stops And Will Not Start Due To A Login Failure?
Sep 24, 2010
I created a service which monitors a few servers and file shares for exchange. Written in VB.NET 2.The service is installed and running fine(ish) but randomly and without any warning or entries in the event log it stops.Upon noticing it stops (the web front end that it generates stops working) we have to manage ther hosting server to attempt to start it again.If we simply try to restart it, it fails to start with a logon failure.

We have a server with multiple services written in .Net 1.1 and 3.5 running on a Win 2003 server. Everything runs fine, but when we stop a certain service, an unrelated service stops. I have checked and neither has any dependencies. The service we stop is in 3.5, and the unrelated service that incorrectly stops is in 1.1. We get no error messages, nor event log errors, so we are baffled.Does anyone have an idea as to what may be causing this?

My application randomly freezes and stops responding for some reason. A window comes up and says "svhost.exe not responding". My application is big, and I have no idea where to start or how to figure out why it's freezing. I wish I could give you details, but the only thing I can tell you is that my program runs for a random time between 5-20 seconds, then freezes

I'm trying to download a file using ftp and then using a streamreader to read it and write it to a text file. The problem is, when I download the file and read it, either it did not get all the data or it stops writing the data to the local file and doesnt produce any error, it just sits there. I've tried it with many different files from the ftp site and this always happens.
Private Sub Download(ByVal stateURI As String, ByVal userName As String, ByVal pWord As String)

I created a custom windows service in Visual Basic using Visual Studios '05.
The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.
I have created a batch file to start the service using the NET START command. Whenever I run the batch file, the service doesn't start. I get this message from the command prompt[code]...

In Visual Studio when I try to start a windows service project it tells me I cant because I have to use "NET Start" and so forth. I remember in VS 2003 that when I pressed play it started the service and stop stopped it. Is there any way that when I press play or start for that windows service project I can have this same functionality. What I currently do is install them using installutil and I put a pre-processor command with System.Diagnostics.Debug.Launch() when I have a compilation variable defined and when I use the service manager it shows me the window to select the debugger. Still this method is somewhat cumbersome.

I'm trying to create a windows service that read from a database and process some retrieved results then send a notification emails for users on my active directory.I need to install the service on a server which is running 24/7, so it can capture the changes that occurred on a database hosted on it ( SQL Server 2005 - Mixed security mode ), now after installing the service ( it's Ok, and the build is Ok ) I tried to start it - because i set it to run manually - a msg popped said that (The $$$ service on local computer started and then stopped, Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ...) Now in OnStart I'm initializing the connections ( 2 connections on the same server ) I stored their connection strings into the application settings, and after preparing the connections I'm starting a timer with interval of 10000 millisecond to read from database to get some important values to start the service.
[code]...
After that I will start another timer to run another script to check the main database to process and send emails, the service failed to start because on event viewer it shows this error :Service cannot be started. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'ICTSIMIS-01-ZKA$' (domainComputer Name$) So if it's a login problem to the server, what should I do to grant the access to the server even without a user login, becasue I already tried all possible Accounts I think it need to be (LocalSystem or LocalService)

I'm using Visual Studio 2010 and .NET3.5. I've created a WCF service application. I'm including two DLLs that contain the types I'm returning. The first method I wrote works both in WCF Test Client and also in a console application I created to test. When I move on to the next method that returns a generic list of a type. It works great in WCF Test Client, but when I update the service reference it acts as if the service is unavailable. All my objects say can't find reference, and I can no longer see it in the object browser. It's like it just disappears. I can still see it in the Service Reference folder. If I go back to the WCF app and comment out the contract and implementation of that one method it work again. I created a local class very similar to the class I'm using from the dll, and the it works. Is there something I'm missing here? Can someone point me in the right direction?

I am writing a Windows Service that will shut the machines down in my domain at 6:00 PM every night. I just want to do an If/Then statement to see if someone is logged into the machine before I shut them down. For example: If Machine_Is_Logged_In = True Then
Do Nothing Else Shut Down The Machine I've been searching for the syntax but can't find it. I've tried both "isauthenticated" and "my.user.name = "" " but nether of these work.

It works on my own computer where I have visual studio installed. I install the exe file with installutil and the service works fine. But when I install it on another computer where only the framework is present, I still can install it with installutil BUT I can't start it. I get something along this Could not start the Search service on Local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.[code]...

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.

I've seen other posts related to this but have seen no resolutionI've tried many things and have been unsuccessful in starting the process from a Windows Service when a username, password is supplied. orking as it's a requirement of our system to do this and it worked fine until recently and only fails on Vista and Windows 7 (works on XP).
The following code is used to start the process.
Dim P As New Process

I'm having a strange problem with the following code, I'm writing a game launcher in VB.NET:
Dim gameProcess As Process = New Process()
gameProcess.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = False
gameProcess.StartInfo.FileName = TextBox2.Text
[Code]....
I see the game running for a split second in the task manager, but it immediately closes! Does anyone know why? When I run the game from Windows, it works fine.
I've also tried with Shell, same problem.
And I've tried with cmd.exe and the /C argument, same problem (note that when I type cmd.exe /C path_to_game_exe in the Windows Run Dialog, the game also starts fine), it's only when I launch it from the VB.NET app that it gives problems.

I'm having trouble getting my archive service working. The service counts files in a directory and sends a email. Pretty simple. However, it randomly stops working. I debugged the service and found nothing wrong. I also have it writing to the eventlog so that I can use it to determine where it fails It progresses through each function normally. I thought my program was failing at on point, because it was only posting "Email Notification Service is Running". However, I realized it wasn't posting to the eventlog source so I've been playing around with different ways to post the message to the eventlog. Am I missing something from my code below? I'm really scratching my head with this one.

I have made my application to start automaticly when windows start (registry ../currentversion/run/appname + path). In this mode the application start minimized and an little icon appear in the notification icon area. With this icon you can maximize the app or exit it.If you exit the app and start it again using the Menu (Start/programs etc) than the application start in minimized mode (and in this case I would like to have it in normal mode) because the setting autostart is still true.Is there a way you can detect when the application start when windows startup using the above registry or when people click on an icon in the programs menu (or desktop)?
