View 1 Repliesattaching the source of the service which is bothering me.This is the part of the code which is the pain in the ass:
Public Class NucDTSync
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Timer1.Interval = 60000
[code].....
i just want to ask if how can i sync my files (like dropbox) via web service? is that possible in vb.net?

View 2 RepliesI am using VS 2010 and have a Window's form with 2 different BindingSources that are related with a primary and foreign key. The records I am accessing are coming from SQL Server and I want to be able to scroll through the records and have the two BindingSources in synch.
The form's main BindingSource is "INDUSERBindingSource" with a primary key, "PWIUNUM". The form's second BindingSource is "CTypeBindingSource" with the foreign key "PWIUNUM". The INDUSER source has text and combo boxes, while the CType source has a group of checkboxes. The records are all relational on the "PWIUNUM" key.
I have been trying several different things to synch the two BindingSources together on this key without any luck. I have searched several Internet sources also but haven't found anything like this.
My first thought was to connect the two BindingSources using their properties but I cannot figure out the correct method. I also played around with some code without any luck either.
I am using VB.Net 2008. I created an application that I want to be able to run stand-alone or as a service. This works fine. I used the "Service" project in VB to create the service. However, when I launch the application as a service, it takes a huge amount of CPU as compared to when I launch it standalone. The stand-alone version and Service version run the same code. The statistics from Task Manager are:
Metric Stand-Alone Service
CPU Time 0:00:34 0:03:01
Mem Usage 26,244 32,952
[Code]....
As you can see the only metric really out of sync is the CPU time.
I have written my first service that checks the status of servers. I have used the statement System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(86400000), so that the service will run, then sleep for 24hrs before running again.
My problem is i want the service to run at 7am every morning, when i install and start the service it will run from the time i start it. I dont have access to required computer at 7am.
Is there a way of setting the service to run at 7am on the first run? Was thinking a Loop, or timer but dont want to be eating resources up while it is not necessary.
Does anybody know why hitting web services the first time takes much longer? I am not sure if this is per user, or per the whole application, meaning that if one user is hitting a web service, will another user hitting the web site also have to wait a while? I am not sure what is happening to rev up the web service.
View 3 RepliesI have a windows service that utilizes an infinite loop and thread.sleep. The sleep time for the thread is 10 seconds.When the service is initially started AND has work to do (data exist in SQL), it immediately does it's processes. It continues to be responsive and process tasks every 10 seconds as long as it has work to do. If no data is present in SQL for an extended period (i.e. 15-20 minutes) then the service starts responding very slowly. It will eventually pick the data up and process it, but it takes more like 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds.
View 2 RepliesSo I have a .NET web service running and when i debug locally and run the service local to my machine a request takes ~4s. However when i push the project to my web server, the exact same request now takes ~1m. I feel as if the request should only take ~5s. I am not sure what I have set wrong. Here are my fiddler results:

i have created a WebService. and my webserver is in Canada. and i am accessing this service from India.Now problem is that i m not able to get the current time of that system in india.wht i hv written in Webservice is Now.Date.and it is not returning the currnet date of system where my webservice is configured.Please tell me how can i get the current date and time of that system.
View 2 RepliesI have an interesting issue that a client reported It turns out that the desktop application they are using is changing the times returned by the web service to their local time so it looks like the data is off. We're in UTC-5 while they're in UTC-8 so 8:00 AM is returned to the GUI as 5:00 AM which is causing confusion. I've done this riddiculousness to get around it for now:
Code:
Dim intOffset As Integer = TimeZone.CurrentTimeZone.GetUtcOffset(DateTime.Now).Hours
'Substract 1 if we're in daylight savings mode

How can we schedule a windows service to run at specific time ( lets say every day morning at 6:00 AM )
For this i had a timer thread to sleep for 24 hours like below and start the service exactly at 6:00 AM ( but the requirement is.... no matter when the service starts, but it should run at 6:00 AM .... So how to do this )
Bottom Line : How to schedule Windows Service to run at specific time ?
Well guyz its been a long time since my last post here but i got some troubles with a new project i am on and the members of vbforums always had the solution So as the title says i want to make a launcher that will sync 2 folders and some files from my Website to my local HDD.

I have a per-call WCF service that serves a number of clients. I'm looking to speed up the services by running some background processes so they don't block or slow down the main function of the services.
One example is that the main function needs to return a set of data, while the background thread needs to record some statistics based on the parameter(s).
Code:
Public Function GetAccountDetails(id As Integer) As AccountDetails
Dim retVal As New AccountDetails
Dim a As New Accounts
[Code]....
If I use this background thread to record the statistic it doesn't block the main thread from returning the data to the client.
It's been working well in test scenarios, but my question is, are there any dangers with leaving this thread to execute without Joining it before returning the data to the client? Could there potentially be any loss of statistic data? Could there be potential memory problems on the server side?
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'm writing a report scheduler that is somewhat of a clone to the backupexec scheduler and the layout can be seen in post #10 here: [URL]..It works great and saves/edits/deletes records just fine, but now i need to compare those records one at a time in a windows service that i'm writing in order to trigger automated report creation and emailing - i already have the report and i already have the code for the emailing, i'm just looking for the most efficient way to loop through the table (that i've pulled in to a dataset) and compare its records with the current date and time - if true, the event fires.
[Code]...
1stSun, 2ndSun etc are bit fields, time is a datetime, and the remainder are varchar. My service checks the database every thirty seconds.The english version of what i'm trying to do is "Connect to the database, grab the entire table (it will always only have 5-6 entries max, so i felt 30 second sweeps was okay), and If today is the 1st Sunday of the month, and it is currently 11:00:00 a.m. (could be any day or time, this is just an example) - loop through the dataset to identify if any records match the time field or greater - if they do, fire the report
I have a VB2008 application which can control a windows service i.e. start, stop, pause etc. This runs ok on a Windows XP machine but not on a Win 7 machine (message is - Service error cannot open <service name> service on computer '.') ( if I stop the UAC then it runs ok ). It seems to be a rights issue,
View 3 RepliesI'm writing a windows service (MacTimeFix.exe) to fix the Windows time on a Macintosh (it's like this: i live in Moscow (GMT+03:00), and Mac OS thinks that the system time is GMT+00:00 and adds 03:00 to it< and Windows thinks that system time is the local time).I need to execute my code when my VB app is closed. (it happens with the shutdown of Windows) The form is invisible (hidden), and the user mustn't click anything except windws shutdown button. It is a service. When i write a Form1_FormClosing sub, it works only on Alt+F4 or CloseButton and doesn't work when the app is stopped from Windows Task Manager or whatever also.I need a way to execute sub when app is closed with taskkill (without /force) or a way to execute a several app on Winshutdown.

making a WCF service before or do know anything about them, so this should be pretty simple. I have to get this "program" to take an excel file from a folder, and send it to this service but I keep getting this very specific error message:

I just want to create an service which will on start read my XML file .It gets the number of parameters connected to PC. I just want to know that is it possible to create the timers at run time in my service and the timers should start at the same time but will having different time span to exicute means one timer will start after every one minute while another after 2 or 3 or whatever i set.
View 1 RepliesI am making a server program, it works, cool.Made it display the info coming in via a textbox, the number of users connected, etc.I based it off of one of the members heres examples (jmcilhinney).However, I am kind of in a rock and a hard place.Do I try and convert it to a windows service so its on all the time? Or do I leave it in a exe format?I have never touched windows services before, but they look promising.However, this will be residing on a collocated server running Windows Server 2003.The problem with that is, if I run it. Person B, C, D, E, whoever.. can not see it due to the virtualized desk tops of RDC (even under the same username).I am kinda curious if I should make it a windows service, then make my 'display' program that just.. remotely taps into it to control it, and view stats and such.The 'server' will take info sent from the client, and add it into a database, then pass back some commands and such.
View 1 RepliesI've got a service running (well, it doesn't crash), but when I try to add a Service Reference to it, I keep getting:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'.
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'net.tcp://localhost:55555/mex'.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.The pertinent parts of my config file are:
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="ReliableDuplexBinding" closeTimeout="00:00:10"
openTimeout="00:00:10" receiveTimeout="00:00:30" sendTimeout="00:00:15"

The service must be self hosted.
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 did a search on the internet but came up with very limited results. I'm using asp/vb and need to create a n application that does the following steps:
1. User defines web service URLs to WSDL pages .. populated in combo drop down (already coded)
2. User selects web service - Clicks Connect
3. User is prompted for any input fields the web service requests.
4. Output (in XML) is displayed after input fields are populated.
I know how to reference web services in the development environment, and use them... but have no idea how to dynamically create them and show the input fields requested.
I have a windows application and a php web application(not connected to internet all times), eventually data add/remove/update can happen at either places. So data has to be synchronized every day or manually.
I have a small sqllite database file (less than 500K) in my end, and the php web app uses Mysql, the structures remain the same. I would like to have a update function in my windows app, which sends my sqllite database file directly to my webserver and then1. Php should read values from the sqllite database files insert some values into mysql from the uploaded file 2. Php should read values from the mysql database files and insert them to sqllite database file
and finally send them back to my windows client pc. I would like to use .net 2.0.Anyone has an idea to get the above done or a suggestion to make the sync easier will help me a lot. Give me light on how the architecture or design should be done to achieve this
I have a class that sends an email which i use sendasyc
SMTPServer.SendAsync(message, _message_id)
The result of the email is captured by the following code
Sub SendCompletedCallback(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As AsyncCompletedEventArgs)
Dim message_id As String = CType(e.UserState, String)
[Code]....
This works fine when the code is run within a form but when i move it into a dll calling it from a console app it neither sends emails nor picks up any errors.
Public Class Form1
Public elapsed_time As TimeSpan
Public start_time, stop_time As DateTime
Public txtBreak As String = "180"
[code]....
All the code needs to be controled by seperate timers as the user may need to pause timer3 or timer4 at any one time. The problem I have is that after about 5 minutes the time and elapsed time are about three seconds ahead of the two count down timers.
