For some reason the Current Directory of my windows service is C:WindowsSystem32
and when I schedule my service I get this error Access is Denied.
In one of the blogs I saw this peice to change the current directory. But I am not sure where to place this code.
System.IO.Directory.SetCurrentDirectory(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory)
This is the function that I use in web service for getting current windows user.
<WebMethod()> _
Function User() As String
Dim p() As String = Split(My.User.Name, "")
[code]....
When I run service on localhost it realy return current windows user name!The problem is when i run service from remote PC, in that case I got nothing from this function. What is problem with this service, and how I can get name of Windows user?
I developed a windows service project using vb.net and windows service is installed with logon account as admin's user name and password. Target of windows service is to read the pst file path location from windows registry for currently logged user by accessing the following registry key
"HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindows NTCurrentVersionWindows Messaging SubsystemProfilesOutlook52a407cf2e436a4d8fe252d1d257465501f6700".
The problem is , windows service can able to read the admin pst file path location if admin is logged in windows. When other user logged in windows, service is not able to read currently logged user's pst file path location from registry because of windows service is configured with admin user name and password. so it always reads admin's pst file location.
I have some shared code I need to use both in a WinForm and a service. How can I test if my code is running in a service, so I can avoid problems with modal dialogs.
View 2 RepliesI am writing a Windows service to import data from CSV files dropped into a directory. One of the steps is to load an XML file with validation rules which I load into a List(Of T). It will pull the data, and then I have it pass the list to a class that monitors the folder and processes the files. After that I clear the list and read in the next file configuration. Now I have noticed that the validation rules aren't matching up and it seems that the list is being passed as a reference type even though the signature is of a value type.Is there anything I can do to get around this?
[Code]...
So here when I pass it, at first it will have 3 validation rules in the new ImportService class I created, but when I call fields.Clear(), it wipes out the class member of the ImportService class.
I have created a windows service in VB in visual studio 2008. The purpose of this service is to copy files from one network drive to the UNC path for a sharepoint file location. It works properly on a Windows XP machine, however when I installed it on Windows 7, I am now getting Access Denied error messages. In troubleshooting, I tried to simplify things to see if I can see the directory that I'm trying to write to, and the System.IO.Directory.Exists is returning false. I am able to see other netowrk shared drives, just not this particular one, and it appears to only be an issue from my Windows 7 machine, as I can do this with a Windows XP box.
I have also tested this code in a Windows forms application and it will work as expected. It appears only when I move to the service.
i have a Windows service that is hosting a WCF service through net.tcp and this is working great. I have also created a WCF service application. I am trying to add the net.tcp service reference to the service application. Then I add it to the GAC that goes ok but if I try to RegAsm the WCF service application to allow it to be called from Server.CreateObject I get the error:
Warning: Type library exporter encountered a type that derives from a
generic class and is not marked as
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)]. Class interfaces cannot be
exposed for such types. Consider marking the type with
[ClassInterface(ClassInterfaceType.None)] and exposing an explicit
interface as the default interface to COM using the
ComDefaultInterface attribute.
It does not work. I have tried to call it through a class library but this does not work either as the end point is not set correctly.

View 4 RepliesIn the past I had the indexing service installed on a Windows Server 2003 and used it to index files for my website. I did this by executing an OleDbCommand with a query and a connection string.How do I accomplish the same thing with the new "Windows Search Service" (Windows Server 2008) by using VB.NET? Does this work the same way so that I only need to change the Provider name which has been "MSIDXS.1" up to now? Case true, what is the new Provider name?

View 2 RepliesWhen you create a Windows Service, you create a list of the services you want to start. The default is this:
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service}
Can you have multiple instances of the same Service class (that bind to different addresses or ports), like this?
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New Service("Option1"), New Service("Option2")}
Or will that cause problems? Should we use two different classes instead?
I have an ACCESS database containing VBA code residing on a USB drive in a directory called 'collect'. When the application runs the code uses a DLL that is in the same directory as the application. The code in the DLL is VB.NET.
The DLL is declared :
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "x:collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
This works fine but it only works when the USB drive is mapped to x:
The follwoing which I expected to work does not
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "wcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
and neither does
Private Declare Function Collect Lib "collectwcolv332.dll" (ByRef Str As Any)
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?
