View 4 RepliesI was able to programmatically launch a service on my development server from a workstation using the ServiceController class with no problems.
When I try to programmatically launch the service on my production server from my workstation, I get an access error which means I do not have rights to run the service with my logged in ID on the workstation.
My question is, is there a way to launch the service using different credentials? I do not see anywhere to input these credentials in the ServiceController class.

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)?
View 2 Repliesi 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.

I am testing the operation on Windows 7 client computer of a program developed using VS 2003 (vb.net coding) and Access 2003 data bases. The program works fine on XP and Vista client machines. On Windows 7, however, there is a problem with just one operation: the compacting and repair of the Access 2003 databases.
The compacting and repair operation uses JetEngine and CompactDatabase statement as per the Microsoft link: [URL] Windows 7 throws up the error: "Access to the ....mdb database is denied" - that is access denied to the database being compacted.
Here's my code. Is it blindingly obvious why my service won't run?[code]...

View 1 RepliesIn 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.
View 1 RepliesI'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)

Testing out a VB.net prog in Windows 7 that works ok in Vista and earlier. The users can set various options and save them for next time.
