Windows Service Program - Getting The "start Parameter" Passed From The Services Properties - General Tab?
Oct 24, 2009
I have made a Windows Service program called InvCheckService.exe. I am passing the working folder using the Services Property for this program. I am putting the parameter "D:Inv" into the "Start Parameters:" textbox.In my program I am getting 1 parameter. Its is D:MyServicesInvCheckService.exe which is where I ran the InstallUtil.exe from.
Here is the code for the OnStart Subroutine:
Protected Overrides Sub OnStart(ByVal args() As String)
Dim parms() As String = Environment.GetCommandLineArgs()
Dim msg As String = ""
[code]....

It works on my own computer where I have visual studio installed. I install the exe file with installutil and the service works fine. But when I install it on another computer where only the framework is present, I still can install it with installutil BUT I can't start it. I get something along this Could not start the Search service on Local computer. Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.[code]...

In order to send out emergency alerts in our organization, I created a windows service that checks a web service (WCF) to see if an emergency alert is pending. If there is a pending alert the windows service then runs a windows form application (exe) to display the alert message. Now my problem......These services are running on a windows 7 machine. When the exe for the alert message runs, it pops up a message stating.

I was wondering for good top 5 websites to look for web services that you guys use. Also, anyone know a goood article on creating your own SOAP service and maybe REST service if you provide a good article on it.Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

I have a method which requires a parameter to be passed in. I would like to use the Addhandler to call the method through a dynamically created button control's click event.

I've got a Windows Services app I've deployed and I've used the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceInstaller to set the StartType to Automatic.
How do I set the action on failure to "restart" and the wait time to one minute?
Can't find those properties but if you open up a Service's properties in the UI, there's a Recovery Tab with First Failure, Second Failure etc. and a "Restart service after __ minutes"
Where do I set these properties for my service at design time before deploying?

I created a custom windows service in Visual Basic using Visual Studios '05.
The service is on our server which is running Windows Server 2003. I have installed the service, and it runs perfectly when I go into Computer Management and Start the service manually.
I have created a batch file to start the service using the NET START command. Whenever I run the batch file, the service doesn't start. I get this message from the command prompt[code]...

In Visual Studio when I try to start a windows service project it tells me I cant because I have to use "NET Start" and so forth. I remember in VS 2003 that when I pressed play it started the service and stop stopped it. Is there any way that when I press play or start for that windows service project I can have this same functionality. What I currently do is install them using installutil and I put a pre-processor command with System.Diagnostics.Debug.Launch() when I have a compilation variable defined and when I use the service manager it shows me the window to select the debugger. Still this method is somewhat cumbersome.

I'm trying to create a windows service that read from a database and process some retrieved results then send a notification emails for users on my active directory.I need to install the service on a server which is running 24/7, so it can capture the changes that occurred on a database hosted on it ( SQL Server 2005 - Mixed security mode ), now after installing the service ( it's Ok, and the build is Ok ) I tried to start it - because i set it to run manually - a msg popped said that (The $$$ service on local computer started and then stopped, Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do ...) Now in OnStart I'm initializing the connections ( 2 connections on the same server ) I stored their connection strings into the application settings, and after preparing the connections I'm starting a timer with interval of 10000 millisecond to read from database to get some important values to start the service.
[code]...
After that I will start another timer to run another script to check the main database to process and send emails, the service failed to start because on event viewer it shows this error :Service cannot be started. System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'ICTSIMIS-01-ZKA$' (domainComputer Name$) So if it's a login problem to the server, what should I do to grant the access to the server even without a user login, becasue I already tried all possible Accounts I think it need to be (LocalSystem or LocalService)

I cannot run Windows Services , I am getting error message "Cannot start Service from the command line or a debugger. A Windows Services must first be installed (using Installutil.exe) and then started with the ServerExplorer, Windows Services administrative tool or the NET START Command."
I have run the InstalluTil.exe and open the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt and run below command but still not working.
InstallUtil " D:\Khwathie\MyNewService\MyServ\MyServ\bin\Debug\MyService.exe".

I need to get the user input for where they want the files that will be produced by my windows service to be stored.
I was thinking that i could do this by reading in the user's input to a variable in the on start event of my service? this variable is then later used in my xml writer.

I created a service which monitors a few servers and file shares for exchange. Written in VB.NET 2.The service is installed and running fine(ish) but randomly and without any warning or entries in the event log it stops.Upon noticing it stops (the web front end that it generates stops working) we have to manage ther hosting server to attempt to start it again.If we simply try to restart it, it fails to start with a logon failure.

I've seen other posts related to this but have seen no resolutionI've tried many things and have been unsuccessful in starting the process from a Windows Service when a username, password is supplied. orking as it's a requirement of our system to do this and it worked fine until recently and only fails on Vista and Windows 7 (works on XP).
The following code is used to start the process.

I have a (pretty large, 1000 lines or so) class with a lot of properties, both regular,overridden and overloadd properties. I currently add this in front of the property to hide it from the designer:<Browsable(False), DesignerSerializationVisibility(DesignerSerializationVisibility.Hidden)>This is all great, but it adds quite some lines to my project. How can I specify, for my class or project, that it should add the above settings to all?Or even better: set the above settings for a block of code instead of a single property.

How can I get the name of the object that was passed byref into a method?
Example:
Dim myobject as object
sub mymethod(byref o as object)
debug.print(o.[RealName!!!!])
end sub
[code]....
I'm using this for logging. I use one method multiple times and it would be nice to log the name of the variable that I passed to it. Since I'm passing it byref, I should be able to get this name, right?This would give you the parameter name in the method and it's type, but not the name of the variable that was passed byref.
using system.reflection
Dim mb As MethodBase = MethodInfo.GetCurrentMethod()
For Each pi As ParameterInfo In mb.GetParameters()
[code]....
If you put that in "mymethod" above you'd get "o" and "Object".
