VS 2005 How To Run Any Application From Within A Windows Service??
May 19, 2009
I am using Vb 2005 to develope a windows service, i have completed a long flow,but at the end i am having a little problem.When i use process.start("abc.exe"), it didnt show me But when i have a little more analysis of the problem i noticed that its running in background by making windows service as its parten process, So it means process runs but as a service how i can show that application on desktop?
i 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 trying to communicate with a Windows service on a remote machine on the network but i keep getting an exception saying the following: "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'. This operation might require other priviledges. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied.
I'm porting code that I wrote for use in a Windows Forms application to a Windows Service, but for some reason, the code that worked in the Windows Forms application is now throwing errors in the Service

Is there a any code to create the windows service in VB.net 2005 that you can pass on. I am actually trying to make a Windows service which will query SQL as well as Oracle database using procedures. This service will keep running until it is manually shutdown. This is my first windows Service I am writing in VB.net.
I will be googling this but in case I don't find it easily, here is my question - how do you install a windows service that you've developed on your own PC to a server? Is there an option to produce the package (I thought it was an msi file) which you can run on the server?
I'm creating a program to stop a particular windows service.This windows service was also written by me.The service will watch a folder and cut and paste the file to another location.The service was running OK.And I have another (TESTING) console application which will try to stop this service only. (I'm doing testing!)However, the app failed to stop the service.
Here is the code i use to stop the service.
VB.Net ' AutoMover is my windows service name.Dim controller As New ServiceController("AutoMover")controller.Stop()controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)controller.Start()
The debug line stop at WaitForStatus because the service didn't stop.Here is the Stop function from my windows service
VB.Net Protected Overrides Sub OnStop() GC.Collect()End Sub
After a few seconds (may be 1 minutes or 2), there is an error message box pop up from window and said the following error msg.' Auto Move is my service Display Name.Could not stop the Auto Move service on Local Computer.Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.If I click Stop from Services.msc, it stop successfully. Strange!!

I have created a windows service that monitors power events on the host machine. The next step that i wanted to do was to send custom messages to the service. To do this i have created a windows application and added a service controller control to it (drugged it from the toolbox). Initially i tried to send messages to my machine which worked fine (both the service controller and the service were running on the same machine)
Dim scSL As New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("MyFirstService", ".") scSL.ExecuteCommand(128)
but when i tried to send a message to a remote machine on the network
Dim scSL As New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceController("MyFirstService", "machine001") scSL.ExecuteCommand(128) i got the following error:
"System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'. This operation might require other priviledges. ---> System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception: Access is denied.
Anyone knows what priviledges i need to set on the machine that has the service controller? Alternatively can anyone recommend a solution to this issue?
I am building a windows based application using Visual basic.net , for Real estate management office and I want my software to send SMS messages to the tenant that it's time to pay for the rent.
I have one windows applciaction and a windows service, I need my WinApp running all the time and if it is not runing I need the service to run it.the question is how can I run my app from the windows service, I dont need any interaction between them I just need the service as an agent that secure the winApp is running and if not, make it run.I got the service and winthin I got a timer that every minuto will check for the running app the questions are:
I have a windows application that updates somedata every 10 mins. I need to make sure that this application keeps running.I was thinking of having a service with a timer that checks if the application is running and if not it fires it up.
I am having a hard time figuring out how would my vb.net application to run as window service so that it would not appear in the task manager's processes list so that it can't be terminated and would constantly run in a background. Is there anyway we could make to run our vb.net application as Windows Service, programmatically? If not, could you provide me sample code that has this Windows Service that's constantly from time to time check whether my application is running or not? If not, then the Windows Service will rerun it for me.?
I created a very simple web service on my godaddy shared hosting web site, using VWD. I wrote a VB app to use some web services. I added a web reference to another web service with no problem. But I could not add a web reference to MY OWN web service. It was blocked by a Discovery Credential dialog that could not succeed. After days of communication with godaddy tech support they stated it could not be done (for security reasons).
I use VB.net to create a Windows Service . its job is to connect a server ( for exemple \10.10.10.10ox named P: and collect files .but the problem is the result of mapping the server ( Dir P: = "" ) return nothing i don't find my files !!!Do i have to use the ftp in windows service ?? because when i use a windows form apllication there is no problems and I find all the files
I have created and deployed a windows service application and I added this line of code "System.Diagnostics.Debugger.Launch()" in the beginning of OnStart method in order to be able to debug the service but when I start the service the nothing is happened. I think the OnStart method have never fired otherwise the visual studio will popup once the debugger.launch line is executed even I tried to write some text to the event viewer to make sure but nothing gets written to the events viewer after I started the service. I included also the debugging symbol in my windows service setup project but I end up with the same result.Why it's not working? How can I make sure that the OnStart method gets fired or not?
I created new windows service with timer inside it for scheduler purpose and it can run successfully but it can't run other application (ex: notepad) when the timer elapsed. I can see the process running in Task Manager but the notepad windows is not open. I used this code in timer_elapsed event.
AppLauncher oAppLauncher = new AppLauncher(@"C:WindowsRegedit.exe"); new Thread(new ThreadStart(oAppLauncher.StartProcess)).Start(); where applauncher is a Class Class AppLauncher { string myAppPath = string.Empty; [Code] ..... When I build windows App I can see Notepad open using the same code.
I made a program that makes backups of a database when the user runs the application, etc. But now my new work is to make it as a Windows Service, to run on the days and time that the person choose, how do I do it ? I never created something like this. I got all the code to make the backup, now the problem is to create it as a service.
This is my form to the person choose the days and the hour to the process runs and install it as a service, and when it runs to be minimizated on the windows icons near clock and date and another option on another button to make it a service too, but now to load all the time that the windows starts :s
I've been tasked with the development of a Widows service, and so far i've pretty much got it all done, except I'm looking for the Services equivalent to a forms applications 'Application.ExecutablePath'.I've search the net, and gone through most of the intelesence's item's but cant find it, and acctually have very little idea where else to look for it..
Today I was build one Windows Service Application which has the reference to 4 Dll. After building the Release I found that there was one more DLL in addition to the reference I have. I checked using ILDASM and it only showed 4 dlls.What could be the issue ? How I can I check why it is getting unwanted DLL's in Release Folder?
I have written a windows service to do some operation (in .net), im calling the same in .net it works quite fine without any issues. Now my problem is i need to call the same service which is written in .net from an VB application.
I have a windows service application that runs a timer. When this timer ticks it starts another application that runs a process.The application is started but it does nothing. On the other hand if i run the application manually it works fine.
I run the app under current logged in user from the service.To give you background, I have a VB.NET Windows service whose sole functionality is to run a Winform App at a specified time. Apart from that it also sets a system wakeup timer so that the system can be woken up at the specified time, if it goes into standby/sleep, to run the app. This service has to cater to XP/Vista/Win7 desktops on our network. This service won't run on servers and laptops.
The Winform App shows a UI for the user to provide some inputs. If the user does not provide the input within 15 minutes, then it defaults the value and then goes into system tray icon. The user can click on the icon and change the values later (within in a specified time frame and that too only twice).
There is absolutely no interaction between the service and the winform app apart from the service starting the app. It also monitors if the app has been killed by the user/crashed. If it has been killed/crashed, then a new instance is run after 30 mins from previous run.
If there is no user logged on, then also I want the app to be run at the specified time. As I said before, the app has a default timer. So if some user has just logged off from the system, then defaults would be set by the winform app.Now coming to why I am stuck with this design - I cannot use TaskScheduler because it has been disabled on all machines and security team is not willing to change it. TaskScheduler had the option to wakeup the machine from sleep and other things. So basically I ended up creating a service which is acting like task scheduler.
Currently when I run the app.exe via process.start() within the service, its running under SYSTEM account as the service is also running under LOCAL SYSTEM. So basically I am not getting any UI. Is there anyway to run it under the current logged in user? I am not worried about multiple user login as we wont be running it on servers and switch user is not enabled on our desktops. Even if somebody has done a remote login via mstsc, then also I need the run the app and show the UI to the user.
I have a console application that is ready to be used as a windows service, I have been looking around for a couple of hours and tried many of the tutorials out there but none of them worked with me.
The closest one was: [URL] but it didn't go into the process of doing it. I converted that code to VB.NET but then I don't know where to go from there. I have the Module1.vb which runs my console application all ready to be used.
show me a way to use my console application as a service, I tried using the InstallUtil feature but my app never showed under "services".
I have a web service that I'd like to include as a project reference inside a windows forms application. (The application will be running on non-networked hardware.) I could simply copy the *.vb files I need into my forms project, but I'd rather not fork the code base.It wasn't hard to include the ASP project in the windows forms solution. However, I can't figure out how to reference it in my forms code.
