Windows Service And Interactive Services Detection?
Nov 23, 2010
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 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 = ""

The original code came from AutoItI just rewrote what was necessary for VB.NET and added the structures and throws. If successful the PID of the process started is returned, else an exception is thrown. No imports needed.

I have a web application on a Windows 2008 server. The web application opens another application interactively.The issue: If I am logged into the server, the web application runs without any problem. If I log-off, and try to use the web application, I get an error "Buffer cannot be null."If I log myself back into the server,go to another computer and try the web app, it will work fine.What security setting is causing this?

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 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.

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?

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?

I have a working WCF, it is written in VB. I need to host it in Windows Services on a remote server. I cannot use IIS (they uninstalled after I had it installed). Specs are to host in Windows Services, the only way I can get around that is to quit.

I've created a WCF service and, with help of others from this site and the department I work in, the WCF service is running as a service on my development machine. Tested it with a console app and it works.But, it's not supposed to be on my development machine. It needs to be on a different server.This is difficult because the server it is supposed to reside on DOES NOT have Visual Studio installed on it.So I cannot run the VS 2008 Command Prompt with installutil to run the WCF service as a service on that server.

I created a service in VB.NET and it runs fine on Vista, I can log off and switch users and the service auto starts and continues to run every time without fail.If I install and run the service on Windows 7, it will not start after a logg off/on or after I switch users.

Im making a services that will log every time it gets started and stopped. I have accomplished that easily, using the onstop and onstart events. Now, im trying to call an exe file that writes something on the log. im calling the exe file every 30 minutes, so i used a do while loop and a thread.sleep code. Now, I've put the loop inside the onstart event, i noticed that since its an infinite loop, the process never leaves the onstart event, and the services status is alway "starting".

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?

I created a simple windows service on my local PC and added the following code to it [code]...
Next I added a Setup project to this solution and added a custom action (By double clicking application folder then clicking add output folder then selecting primary output from the dialog). The solution builds fine but I have 2 problems.
1) Everytime I install the service, it asks me for the username, password and confirm password; I was wondering if there was anyway to get rid of it atleast while running locally. I tried setting the account type to user, local service, local system etc but it keeps popping up.
2) Once I enter the credentials (random ones), I get an error "No mapping between account names and security ids was done".

I have a basic VB.Net application that gets data from some websites and then send them to a MS-SQL database automatically. I have developed it as a desktop application with a WinForm front end with logs writing to the WinForm continuously. Now, is it possible to convert the Winform to a Windows services so that I do not need to keep it opening in front of my PC and watching the logs, instead, it runs quietly in the background and the data gets logged into the system log viewer?

In our application, we have a number of Windows Services (more than 30) that must run behind the scenes to process data at given times throughout the day. I was attempting to create a BaseService class that I could inherit from that would log to our database when the service started or stopped as well as some other common functionality. However, I ran into a show stopper in trying to create BaseService as MustInherit as we have a number of MustOverride properties. The issue lies in:
<MTAThread()> Shared Sub Main()
Our code is all in VB (as you can probably tell). Given that it is a Shared method, I cannot have it be overriden (i.e. make it MustOverride). Without this method, the code will not compile, however it will not really work in the base class. The code in this method is:
Dim ServicesToRun() As System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase
ServicesToRun = New System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase() {New BaseService}
System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.Run(ServicesToRun)
The BaseService (the name of my base class) cannot be created because it is specified as MustInherit. And therein lies my problem. I cannot create this in the Base Class and cannot override it in the inheriting classes.

I'm trying to write an application in VB 2010 that will allow me to send out stop and start commands for two services. I can get this to work in a batch file but not in VB, using either NET STOP and NET START and also using SC.exe Stop and SC.exe Start. But I don't seem to get anywhere if I try to use this in VB. So far this is what I have written, using the Print Spooler service as an example. The two services I actually want to stop and restart are the Server and Client services for efpos terminals that are attached to the computers. The service fails from time to time and I want to provide a solution for our users that is quick and easy for them to use, and most importantly doesn't require them to restart the computer, while they have a line up of people waiting to pay.
Code:
Private Sub SpoolerStop()
' Stops the spooler service
Dim StopSpooler = "C:windowssystem32sc.exe stop spooler"
End Sub
No matter what search terms I try in Google I get very little on using VB to interact with Windows Services.

I have created a service which correctly starts in the services section in windows. Now I am trying to get it to trigger an event.I put a message box in the timer section just to experiment with getting it to pop up and it does work when I run it within vb but when I deploy it as a service it no longer pops up.
