VS 2010 : Create Windows Services Dynamically?
Apr 26, 2012I'm working on a application which suppose to work as a interface between multiple applications. as a example, one PBX system sends me data via TCPIP or COM ports and I manipulate it and send to PMS application. likewise PMS also send me data which I need to send back to PBX system.By query is, I don't have a fix number of communication interfaces and it can go up to 8 - 10 or may be more and they should work independently (should be able to switch off communication at any time in any interface).
In this situation, I cannot handle everything in one service or two since I don't know how many interfaces going to be. So I'm thinking a way to create services dynamically such as when user create a new interface in application it automatically creates the windows service on server or pc.I don't really need to create services remotely since my application will install only in one pc or a server and system administrator will access the server for the configurations.

Hosting Of WCF And Windows Services?
May 9, 2011I've created a WCF service and, with help of others from this site and the department I work in, the WCF service is running as a service on my development machine. Tested it with a console app and it works.But, it's not supposed to be on my development machine. It needs to be on a different server.This is difficult because the server it is supposed to reside on DOES NOT have Visual Studio installed on it.So I cannot run the VS 2008 Command Prompt with installutil to run the WCF service as a service on that server.

May 16, 2011Im making a services that will log every time it gets started and stopped. I have accomplished that easily, using the onstop and onstart events. Now, im trying to call an exe file that writes something on the log. im calling the exe file every 30 minutes, so i used a do while loop and a thread.sleep code. Now, I've put the loop inside the onstart event, i noticed that since its an infinite loop, the process never leaves the onstart event, and the services status is alway "starting".

Installing Windows Services Gives An Error
Aug 3, 2010I created a simple windows service on my local PC and added the following code to it [code]...
Next I added a Setup project to this solution and added a custom action (By double clicking application folder then clicking add output folder then selecting primary output from the dialog). The solution builds fine but I have 2 problems.
1) Everytime I install the service, it asks me for the username, password and confirm password; I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of it atleast while running locally. I tried setting the account type to user, local service, local system etc but it keeps popping up.
2) Once I enter the credentials (random ones), I get an error "No mapping between account names and security ids was done".

Create Setup Program For A Windows Service In Other?
Apr 8, 2009I created a new Windows Service and a stand alone set up program for it. To the solution I added a set up program project and included both programs as outlined in [url]... However, when I run the Setup program, I do not see the my new service in the services window after the set up program completes. Is there additional work that needs to be done to have the program install the windows service correctly or do I need to include the [url]... program and a batch file to get it installed?

View 3 RepliesCreating A Base Class For Windows Services?
Jan 16, 2012In our application, we have a number of Windows Services (more than 30) that must run behind the scenes to process data at given times throughout the day. I was attempting to create a BaseService class that I could inherit from that would log to our database when the service started or stopped as well as some other common functionality. However, I ran into a show stopper in trying to create BaseService as MustInherit as we have a number of MustOverride properties. The issue lies in:
<MTAThread()> Shared Sub Main()
Our code is all in VB (as you can probably tell). Given that it is a Shared method, I cannot have it be overriden (i.e. make it MustOverride). Without this method, the code will not compile, however it will not really work in the base class. The code in this method is:
Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New BaseService}
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
The BaseService (the name of my base class) cannot be created because it is specified as MustInherit. And therein lies my problem. I cannot create this in the Base Class and cannot override it in the inheriting classes.
File I / O And Registry - Interact With Windows Services
Apr 28, 2010I'm trying to write an application in VB 2010 that will allow me to send out stop and start commands for two services. I can get this to work in a batch file but not in VB, using either NET STOP and NET START and also using SC.exe Stop and SC.exe Start. But I don't seem to get anywhere if I try to use this in VB. So far this is what I have written, using the Print Spooler service as an example. The two services I actually want to stop and restart are the Server and Client services for efpos terminals that are attached to the computers. The service fails from time to time and I want to provide a solution for our users that is quick and easy for them to use, and most importantly doesn't require them to restart the computer, while they have a line up of people waiting to pay.
Code:
Private Sub SpoolerStop()
' Stops the spooler service
Dim StopSpooler = "C:windowssystem32sc.exe stop spooler"
End Sub
No matter what search terms I try in Google I get very little on using VB to interact with Windows Services.
