Debug - Created A Service And Ran It Successfuly After A Valid Installation
Jul 25, 2010
I've created a service and ran it successfuly after a valid installation. however when i try to debug the service (not the OnStart function but a timer function i created) i get the following error: "cannot start service from the command line or a debugger.A windows service...").
The actions i made are (im using VS2005):
1. start the service
2. debug->start debugging
3. processes ->attach to process -> [select my service]-> attch

I'm struggling with a problem at remot installations. I released my Beta software which was always running fine on a lot of systems Win XP , Win2003, Win 7.Now I have a strange problem at some remote installation. After starting the program it will crash right away, not even geting throug the new or load Events.All my integrated debugging is useless. I don't know how I should debug such a problem.I guess there are some files missing at the remote systems. I have no idea which files. It could also be because of some third party components. I only have an event (see below) which is not of much help (to me).I found some other threads about the same CLR20r3 event but it was not very usefull. I need to get this application up and running. What steps should I take. I have some very good Beta testers.

I have created a custom installer in VB.Net to create directories during installation. Now I want to delete those directories and sub directories during un-installtion.
Public Overrides Sub Install(ByVal stateSaver As System.Collections.IDictionary)
MyBase.Install(stateSaver)
InstallDir = Me.Context.Parameters("dir")
Try
Dim f1 = System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f1")
Dim f2= System.IO.Path.Combine(InstallDir, "f2")
[Code] .....
But its not happening the directories and the files in the installed directory are not getting deleted.

I seem to be having an issue with Building my application. THe programs builds just fine,but when you install the program and then run the program it wants to act like its configuring the program, prior to running the actual program.I get a windows box that pops up stating its configuring the program and then it runs.But it only happens when I access the program through the shortcuts that I have the program create when it installs. If I go directly to the program directory and click on the program there, it starts just fine.

I have taken over support for a VB.Net WinForms application. When this application is installed via a ClickOnce installation it generates a shortcut on the desktop. The annoying thing, though, is that if you do a right click and properties on the shortcut that was created, it is clear that it is not a regular shortcut as it does not have a target tab, so it is not obvious from the shortcut properties what this shortcut is referencing. So my questions relating to this are: what is the idea behind this kind of shortcut? Why is the the target for this type of shortcut hidden? (What are they even called? This is the first time I have ever seen a ClickOnce installation, so was somewhat surprised when I found that the properties tab was missing.) How do you find out what executable is being referenced by the shortcut?

I have developed an application in VB.Net 2005 Express. This app was then transformed into a windows service using a template I found on this forum. I am able to install the service using InstallUtil.exe and I am very happy, BUT the powers that be me are asking for a more eligant method of installing / upgrading the service.
All of my reading suggests I need to upgrade to VS 2008 Enterprise to achieve this goal. Before I lash out and reach for my credit card, can someone confirm the minimum requirement to achieve a pretty service installation.

I currently have a windows service that is packaged up as an msi installer. However, during the installation i need the user to input their required filepath (to string) location. The filepath variable currently resides in my component class called MyNewService that is inherited from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.
Is there anyway i can allow the user to define the filepath variable during installation?

I upgraded to VB2010 from VB2008 early this year and have been working on a Windows Service which I am now debugging. When I was using VB2008 in Windows XP SP3 I would put a Stop statement in the code and when execution got to it a dialog would open asking if I wanted to debug it using a development environment listed in a provided list. The list contained the VB2008 VS IDE which I selected which would in turn transfer me to the IDE in debug mode. I was very happy with this setup.
Now I am using VB2010 with Windows 7 and when the execution reaches the Stop statement the service just stops. It no longer offers the choice and ability to "jump" into the development environment via the dialog that I mentioned.[code]...

I'm developing a Windows Service in VB.NET 2008, but I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm. To debug the service, I've added a 15 second wait to the initialization code, which gives me time to start the service and attach the .NET debugger before anything happens, so I can hit breakpoints and such. I really miss "integrated" debugging with this type of workaround, and testing seems to be a huge pain.
What's the best way to do "regular" debugging of a Windows Service that's in development? One option I'd considered was moving all of my logic to a DLL project, leaving only control logic in the service itself, and then creating a Forms project that essentially just had "start" and "stop" buttons on it, and called into the DLL to do everything else. This way, I can debug my code normally, and then just deploy the compiled service when the DLLs are ready.

I'm writing a Windows Service:
Code:
Public Class Service1
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()
[Code].....
I've installed the service, I can run it with no errors but... I can't debug!
I thought that with the line System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Break()
the service should stop and wait for my input. But NO!
I also tried to click on Tools > Attach process to debug but I can't see anything, just a gray background!
In the registry event it's written that the process started successfully, but the process doesn't show me the message box "Up and running"

I've been assigned a web app written in VB using VStudio.net 2003. I am trying to configure the source on my localhost (VStudio 2008) so I can explore and learn about the current app (before I begin any real changes) and I cannot get debugging working for the web service project(s).
Symptom 1: "Unable to automatically step into the server. The remote procedure could not be debugged. This usually indicates that debugging has not been enabled on the server. See help for more information". This happens when I try to F11 (stepInto) the proxy class which invokes my actual web method.
Symptom 2: Pre-setting a breakpoint in my .asmx file code on the statement that will be invoked does not work (i.e. the debugger simply doesn't stop). Having described the situation, here's how my VStudio Solution is configured: Service1 - project created from the VB - WEB - ASP.NET Web Service Application template; this Service1 project contains my main .asmx source code I want to debug. Web.config for this project contains compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true"

Occasionally I have to create a windows service for my application. I'm more of a web developer than a windows developer so I have a "Cheat sheet" I use to create the service. Here is what I do:I create my VS 2008 windows service and copy my code from another windows service. I then make the code changes.
Click Project, PropertiesClick Build on the left-side menuClick Browse button next to Output path:Drill down to binDebug and selectDouble-click Project Installer.csClick on serviceInstaller1In the Properties window, change the Display name and Service name to the desired name. For example, "Lab Interfac "Save and Build.Service will now be available on Control Panel -> Services But the service is not showing up in Services. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Can anyone see something that I missed?

We have service developed in Visul Basic .NET. This service utilizes some COM objects provided by SAP to access SAP database. This has been working fine till yesterday. On this Sunday, we upgraded the SAP system, and subsequently all other programs were also re-builded using the new DLL files (for the COM object). We tried doing the same for the service also. But it is not starting now. When started, it shows a message saying service terminated unexpectedly. This is probably due to the fact that it is not able to load the requisite DLL file.

I wrote a quick and dirty web service in VB.NET. And as it always goes, I want to move it to production, but don't want to use the name Service1 for the public class. When I change the name I get an error when trying to reference it. I know there is somewhere else I need to change the class name, something in the code behind but I can't find where it is.

I have created a service which runs fine on my development PC. It reads XML files data into and Access database. Any errors that might occur are wrote to an eventlog. Like I said all of this works fine on my development PC. I have copied the service EXE on to another PC and run the install and that all works but when the service is fired I get a .Net 2.0 error - system.argumentexception error. I put a delete temp file line of code in to see where the error was occuring and it seems to be when I try to open my database.
Do I need to create a deploy for my service?

Whenever I create files in VB.net, the results go by default in the bin/Debug folder. I would like them to go in bin/Debug/Test without having to write the actual location, since the project folder may change from user to user (i.e. they don't place their project in the same folder I do).

I get the error mentioned when printing to a network printer.The error does not occur when run under XP/Win2003, in a WinForm app or when a local printer is used.The error does only occur when run as a Windows Service under Vista/Win7/Win2008 and printing to a network printer.The Windows service runs under a network user that has access to the network printer. Before I print I check if the printername (including network path) is ok by looping through the available printers.

This is the error message I am getting:
"Cross-thread operation not valid: Control 'Panel1' accessed from a thread other than the thread it was created on." The reason I am getting this error is because I am opening up a new form and then calling these three things:
Panel1.Show()
Label1.Show()
Label2.Show()
why I get this error message because it doesn't occur normally if I open Form2 after closing Form1, it only occurs when I open Form2 after closing Form4.
