Timer Within Thread Within Windows Service
Dec 6, 2011Right now I have a windows service which only task is to gather data from a database with a specific DSN and then send out an email if the data is valid. The service contains a timer which ticks every 5 minuts and performs the tasks above.Now I need to re-write the windows service to be able to run on more than 1 DSN.I was thinking of making several threads inside the windows service and then again have a seperat timer inside each thread.Is this a good idea and how can this be done? I want to avoid having a windows service for each DSN.[code]

How To Make A Windows Service Work Properly
Aug 3, 2010My project requires that a windows service checks up a table on a sql database(MDF) and if product existence is 0 then sends an email to some mail address and keep checking every 24 hrs.Now Im able to send mail messages but what Im not able is to make the service itself to work or at least make sure that is working.I do the following(correct me if I do something wrong or missing a step):
1. create a new project and choose windows service
2. add a timer and set to 4000 ms just to test not wait the 24 hrs lol
3. then open its event timer_elapsed and put some code on it, like a msgbox that would keep spamming every 4 secs just to test
4. at the event onstart I enable the timer by: timer1.enabled=true
5. at the event onstop I disable the timer by: timer1.enabled=false
6. right click then choose add installer
7. in the newer installed with the two objects:
a. serviceinstaller1 set its properties to: displayname: myservice and servicename: myservice
b. serviceprocessinstaller1 set account property to LocalSystem
8. build the project and install it by opening the VS console and type: "installutil c:path blah blahservice.exe" then hit enter
9. all successfull installed open the pc manager and run the service from the list and this should be the deal
Now my real problem is that by following those steps my service is sucessfully builded, installed, and started but after the 4 seconds no msg pops up so this leads me to think that is not doing anything or I did something wrong in the steps above. Is there another way to test if this service is working else than the msgbox or the log entry? Plus, Im working on my home pc which is a xp OS. I tried the same at college pcs wich are win7 and when I did install by the console it returned an error weird but in my home pc it doesnt(and I have to present my project at college at college and tomorrow
VS 2008 .NET Windows Service : How To Make It Work
Jan 30, 2010i have written hundreds of programs with vb.net 2008, but never a service before. I have a simple service written that basically just rights a entry in the eventlog to test. No coding/compiling issues. I run the "installutil.exe" and I get a error ever time. So I went back and added the "Add Installer". But I am sure of what else I need to do, as I get the same error. Please assist.

Windows Service Debug Doesn't Work?
May 14, 2010I'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"
Windows - Timer - Service To Execute On The Half Hour And Top Of The Hour Marks
May 6, 2009I wrote a VB.NET Windows Service, which works fine. I have only one issue with it. I want the service to execute on the half hour and top of the hour marks (e.g. 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, 10:30, 11:00, etc etc etc). I am using the following code:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
' Add code here to start your service. This method should set things
' in motion so your service can do its work.
[CODE]...
This code works, however, if the service starts at, say, 10:15, then it executes at 10:15, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45. How do I make it so it always executes on the 30 minute and top of the hour marks?

.net - WCF Service Hosted In A Managed Windows Service Connect Using A WCF Service Application
Jul 14, 2011i 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.
.net - Accurate Windows Timer - System.Timers.Timer() Is Limited To 15 Msec
Jan 15, 2009I need an accurate timer to interface a Windows application to a piece of lab equipment.I used System.Timers.Timer() to create a timer that ticks every 10 msec, but this clock runs slow. For example 1000 ticks with an interval of 10 msec should take 10 wall-clock seconds, but it actually takes more like 20 wall-clock sec (on my PC). I am guessing this is because System.Timers.Timer() is an interval timer that is reset every time it elapses. Since it will always take some time between when the timer elapses and when it is reset (to another 10msec) the clock will run slow. This probably fine if the interval is large (seconds or minutes) but unacceptable for very short intervals.Is there a function on Windows that will trigger a procedure every time the system clock crosses a 10 msec (or whatever) boundary?
UPDATE: System.Timers.Timer() is extremely inaccurate for small intervals.I wrote a simple program that counted 10 seconds several ways:
Interval=1, Count=10000, Run time = 160 sec, msec per interval=16
Interval=10, Count=1000, Run time = 16 sec, msec per interval=15
Interval=100, Count=100, Run time = 11 sec, msec per interval=110
Interval=1000, Count=10, Run time = 10 sec, msec per interval=1000
It seems like System.Timers.Timer() cannot tick faster that about 15 msec, regardless of the interval setting.Note that none of these tests seemed to use any measurable CPU time, so the limit is not the CPU, just a .net limitation (bug?)For now I think I can live with an inaccurate timer that triggers a routine every 15 msec or so and the routine gets an accurate system time. Kinda strange, but...I also found a shareware product ZylTimer.NET that claims to be a much more accurate .net timer (resolution of 1-2 msec). This may be what I need. If there is one product there are likely others.

View 1 RepliesWindows Service: Multiple Instances Of The Same Service Class?
May 3, 2011When 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?
Stopping A Windows Service, A Different Service Stops As Well?
Mar 3, 2009We 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?
