WCF Basics With A Windows Service

Nov 8, 2010

I am looking into WCF specifically in relation to Silverlight. if I am correct in thinking that I can create a WCF Service, and expose a TCP endpoint using a Windows Service that my Silverlight app can use? I have managed to expose this using IIS but it would be good if we could bypass using IIS as some of our customers don't like it.

.net - WCF Service Hosted In A Managed Windows Service Connect Using A WCF Service Application

Jul 14, 2011

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.

Use Windows Search Service Instead Of The Old Indexing Service To Index Files?

Jul 7, 2009

In the past I had the indexing service installed on a Windows Server 2003 and used it to index files for my website. I did this by executing an OleDbCommand with a query and a connection string.How do I accomplish the same thing with the new "Windows Search Service" (Windows Server 2008) by using VB.NET? Does this work the same way so that I only need to change the Provider name which has been "MSIDXS.1" up to now? Case true, what is the new Provider name?

Windows Service: Multiple Instances Of The Same Service Class?

May 3, 2011

When 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, 2009

We 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?

Install Windows Service Using A ProjectInstaller And A Deployment Project ("Specified Service Already Exists")

Mar 10, 2009

I've created a windows service and started a deployment project for it. I have the project installer class in the service project and I've added the "Standard output etc.." from the service project as custom actions for the Deployment Project. When I attempt to install it, I get the error "Specified service already exists", which shouldn't happen (even though the service does exist) because the installer should be removing the old service and installing the new one.

I've checked that the versions are different, and that the Product Code is also different, also RemovePreviousVersions is set to true. Can anyone tell me why it isn't uninstalling my old service when I update then install again? .S: MODS: DO NOT MARK MY POST AS ANSWERED, IT IS RUDE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA IF YOU'VE ANSWERED MY QUESTION!Sorry, it gets ignored in my signature.Mods

Writing A Windows Service (MacTimeFix.exe) To Fix The Windows Time On A Macintosh?

Jan 31, 2009

I'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.

Here is my code:

Public Class Form1
Dim SystemMary As String
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
SystemMary = Mid(TimeString, 1, 2)

Web Service Within A Windows Service?

Mar 3, 2010

The first one is rather confusing for us. We have a windows service that cannot connect to our web service, from within an external network. But we also have a GUI application for testing the connection prior to the Service starting that connects and sends us the required data. The GUI is used for entering proxy information that the windows service will also use to connect. We have several installs where the gui app uses the proxy creds to connect and does so o.k. but the windows service cannot connect using the same credentials. We do not get a 407 error most of the time. We are receiving the server failed to respond message.

"System.IO.Directory.Exists" In A Windows Service Using Windows 7?

Jan 23, 2012

I have created a windows service in VB in visual studio 2008. The purpose of this service is to copy files from one network drive to the UNC path for a sharepoint file location. It works properly on a Windows XP machine, however when I installed it on Windows 7, I am now getting Access Denied error messages. In troubleshooting, I tried to simplify things to see if I can see the directory that I'm trying to write to, and the System.IO.Directory.Exists is returning false. I am able to see other netowrk shared drives, just not this particular one, and it appears to only be an issue from my Windows 7 machine, as I can do this with a Windows XP box.

I have also tested this code in a Windows forms application and it will work as expected. It appears only when I move to the service.

Can VB Run As A Windows Service

Aug 25, 2009

I am less than a week into my Visual Basic education. I have downloaded Visual Studio 2008 and am teaching myself Visual Basic 2008 in hopes of landing a particular contract position. In the meantime, a friend of mine told me that it is not recommended to write a Windows Service with Visual Basic. Is that true? Could he be referring to some much older version than 2008? Does the .NET version come into play?
