View 1 RepliesThis may seem complicated but it's a somewhat basic concept, just probably a complicated execution, I am trying to create a program that will allow you to basically "IM" between computers on a LAN network. That's the concept, I plan on doing this by generating .bat files, executing them and printing the last few messages sent in a label, the big problem I have is receiving messages, I have no idea whatsoever how to even go about finding out how to take the messages received from the messenger service and print them into the label, any ideas?EDIT: This is in VB.Net 2008
View 5 RepliesI'm trying to make a LAN IM client using the net send command and I was wondering if there is any way to capture the text of the messages received through net send and display them in a label.

Here's my code. Is it blindingly obvious why my service won't run?[code]...
View 6 RepliesI 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.
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)
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]...
View 2 RepliesI cannot run Windows Services , I am getting error message "Cannot start Service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Services must first be installed (using Installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services administrative tool or the NET START Command."
I have run the InstalluTil.exe and open the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt and run below command but still not working.
InstallUtil " D:\Khwathie\MyNewService\MyServ\MyServ\bin\Debug\MyService.exe".
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 have developed a windows services that Log On As "Local System" account with Statup Type "Automatic". I understand that windows services starts before user logins. But I want my service to start when ever user logs in.
View 3 RepliesI 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.
View 1 RepliesI get the following error in Vista while trying to start/stop a Windows Service that I created.
Cannot open ServiceName service on computer '.'.
The same code works for XP.
I have a Windows Service that needs to start other processes under a user context other than that used by the service. 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
P.StartInfo.Domain = Domain

View 3 RepliesI have made a Windows Service program called InvCheckService.exe. I am passing the working folder using the Services Property for this program. I am putting the parameter "D:Inv" into the "Start Parameters:" textbox.In my program I am getting 1 parameter. Its is D:MyServicesInvCheckService.exe which is where I ran the InstallUtil.exe from.
Here is the code for the OnStart Subroutine:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Dim parms() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
Dim msg As String = ""

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 3 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.

View 9 RepliesI really like the MSN notification popup. Basically the popup you see when you receive a new email etc. I'd like to put timers and set times so I, for instance, get a popup at 2PM saying "Don't forget..." I know I could make my own notification bubble but I'd prefer the WLM one.

View 1 Replieswhen I am using the following code. the kill all batch file internally calls a vbs cript like this when a batch file is called using CreateProcess() which internaly calls a vbs script like this cscript //e:vbscript xyz.vbs which intends stops and starts a service in remote PC as follows. But the service is stopping but it is not starting event though it start command is used what could be the reason...
sCommandLine = "SC \"&strMachineName&" stop xyzService"
WScript.Echo(sCommandLine)
Set poProcess = WSHShell.Exec(sCommandLine)
