Windows Service Debug Doesn't Work?
May 14, 2010
I'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"

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'm developing a Windows Service in VB.NET 2008, but I feel like I'm going to have an aneurysm. To debug the service, I've added a 15 second wait to the initialization code, which gives me time to start the service and attach the .NET debugger before anything happens, so I can hit breakpoints and such. I really miss "integrated" debugging with this type of workaround, and testing seems to be a huge pain.
What's the best way to do "regular" debugging of a Windows Service that's in development? One option I'd considered was moving all of my logic to a DLL project, leaving only control logic in the service itself, and then creating a Forms project that essentially just had "start" and "stop" buttons on it, and called into the DLL to do everything else. This way, I can debug my code normally, and then just deploy the compiled service when the DLLs are ready.

I've developed a small windows form application in Visual Studio 2005. I have tested the application on a completely fresh install of Vista 32-bit as well as Vista 64-bit and it works fine... But when I copy the application onto an XP machine the following problems occur:The application no longer has its icon, just the default .exe console box icon
Whenever I try to open the application, absolutely nothing happens

Visual Studio 2005 SP1cr10 developer also installedOn XP machine, works fine. Got a Windows 7 machine(64bit and all) and copy over the project, run it and can't, I get an error in each crystal report gets an error [code]I take these lines out, and no more error for the report. Since there are like 40 reports in a project and there's 5 different projects that would have to be altered, this will be a pain. And I'm not the only developer. Another developer, on Vista and another will be coming in on XP, don't have this issue. I've tried uninstalling everything Cr and visual studio, then reinstalled visual studio and ran it, same thing, then installed SP1, same thing, then updated security fixes, same thing. CR10 isn't installed. I've removed and added the references back ,they seem to be the exact same versions.

I have a test app driven by bluetooth serial events In my form load code I hide the cursor so it doesn't get in the way of pictures (fullscreen) When one event is called by bluetooth, it brings up a msgbox and the user has to click OK. I tried Windows.Forms.Cursor.Show() but it doesn't work.
I'm guessing it's something to do with delegates and events and the form, but the debugger doesn't complain at any point. It just refuses to show the cursor. How can I get my serialport event to show the cursor? And then hide it after?

My 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

i 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.

I have a MDI form that has a child form that is opened by default when the application loads. I also automatically maximize the child form. Even though I have set ShowIcon to false, the little blank image that indicates that there is no icon appears in the upper left hand corner of the form. Is there a way to get rid of this?

I have one tool which we developed on visual studio 2010. there are basically two parts of my project, one is UI part which i wrote in VB and algorithm part which is in C++ on back end. When we compile C++ part it creates a .dll which is used by my front end VB program.
Now my problem is little weird since i am compiling and deploying this tool on windows xp machine but some of the users are using windows 7 64 bit machines and after running the program for about 5-10 minutes, it crashes on windows 7 with following error
Not enough storage is available to process this command and when i view details of that error, i get the following description.
See the end of this message for details on invoking just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

i am completely clue less for this error since this program works fine on xp but doesn't work on windows 7.

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 have an application that requires data be entered, and after entering, a button is clicked to process that data. Clicking the button works just as it should--the data is processed properly. In constructing a test module, I provide a set of data values, followed by:
btnWhatever.PerformClick()
Nothing happens. I have used this syntax for years, and it has always worked flawlessly. I have triple checked everything else and isolated the problem to the failure of the PerformClick(). The PerformClick() is in a test subroutine that does nothing but fill textboxes and labels with default data, then calls the PerformClick() on the button to begin processing. Again, the button works fine, the data is entered as it should be, but the PerformClick() does not fire the click event.

EDIT: I know that I can use DebuggerDisplay, but unfortunately it is very limited. The class in reality is quite complex and I need to have the possibility to define a logic in what I show during debugging, if possible.

#If DEBUG Then
lblDebug.Text = "Debug"
#Else
lblDebug.Text = "Not in debug"
#End If
Now when I run it in VS, it prints "debug" like it should, but if i run the .exe, it still prints "debug". What do i have to do to get this to work right?

Whenever I make any changes in my project, they don't work and aren't visible in debug mode. They are all visible in my designer mode. It's the same with newly added code, it just doesn't work (even a simple command like showing a test messagebox doesn't work).
How could this be? It all worked fine until recently. I don't want to start over with my project, because it's a pretty big one.
