View 1 RepliesVS 2010 To Window Service Or Not To Window Service?
Jul 20, 2010I 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 RepliesChange Web Service URL In Exe.config File?
Jun 3, 2010I have created a VB application with some web references created at design time. The URL property of each is set to Dynamic which has created a string value in My.Settings and in the app.config file.
During testing and debug the application uses one set of web services and when live it needs to use a different set of web references with a different URL. I thought I'd be able to change the values for these URL's in the MyApplication.exe.config file once installed on the PC but the application still sees the URL which was used to create the web reference at design time.
I've searched forums and this should be the way it works but I can't understand why it isn't picking up the URL for the web service from the exe.config file once I have installed the application.
How To Create New Instance Of Web Service / Config
Sep 2, 2010So I get thrown an exception right when I try to create a new instance of my Web Service that says:
"Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'KBBVehicleService.IVehicleInformationService' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element."
This is a web service that will connect to Kelley Blue Book. I know I need a new endpoint entry in my Web.Config, but what does this look like? The one I added looks like this:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:3300/KBB.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_Default" contract="Services.Client.IVehicleInformationService"/>
But it doesn't work. Still throws the same exception at the same place.
C# - Consume A SOAP Web Service Without Relying On The App.config?
Sep 13, 2010I'm building a .NET component that will call an external web service. I used the "Add Service Reference" dialog to add the web service to my component, which generates the code needed to consume the service and adds the settings to the app.config file.I'm testing the component by adding a reference to its DLL from a Console application and calling the appropriate method that creates a new instance of the web service: ... = new MyServiceSoapClient(). However, when I do this, I get the following exception:
InvalidOperationException
Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'MyServicesSoap' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matching this contract could be found in the client element.This makes sense since the app.config isn't being brought over with the component's DLL. How can I call the web service without having to rely on the settings in the App.Config?
Web.config ApplicationSettings Values Not Being Read From WCF Service?
Dec 6, 2011I have a WCF service with a setting I created in the WCF application property editor (settings tab).It has created something like the following property in MySettings class in the Settings.Designer.vb file. Notice the DefaultSettingValueAttribute is set to "This is the OLD value". That's my value for local testing.
<Global.System.Configuration.ApplicationScopedSettingAttribute(), _
Global.System.Diagnostics.DebuggerNonUserCodeAttribute(), _
Global.System.Configuration.DefaultSettingValueAttribute("This is the OLD value")> _
[code]....
The problem is after restarting the WCF service (rebooting the server machine completely), it never reads the new value. It continues to use the old value that was set as the default value in the designer file.I think this must have to do with file permissions, but I don't see anything in the event log that indicates a problem. It's like the WCF service isn't even trying to read the web.config file.Why isn't the service reading the settings value from the web.config file?
Does Windows Service Need To Be Rebuild After Changing Config File
Aug 1, 2010I changed config file of the windows many times. Before changing config file I stopped the service and after changing config file, started again. Every thing worked fine.
But last time when I made some changes in config file of the windows service and started it - It didnt worked, I even tried reinstalling the service but in vain.
As a last resort I rebuild the service with new config file and copied newly build files on the server and installed the service. To my surprise the Windows service worked perfectly this time.But I have only made changes to config file and the code of the windows service was untouched. My question is, do we need to rebuild the Window service if we change the config file many time?

View 3 Replies.net 1.1 - Start-up Window Changes Based On App.config Setting - Changing ?
Feb 24, 2009I have this VB.Net 1.1 project that I have to make some changes to. There is a flag in the App.config file. If it is false, the page just loads a splash screen and runs the program normally. If it is true it first opens a login window. VB.Net is not something I've ever worked with before. I can't for the life of me figure out where the logic for the picking the startup object is. In the property pages, Main.vb is always set as the startup object, but that's not even the window that loads up when the flag is false, it always comes after the splash screen.

Timer Within Thread Within Windows Service
Dec 6, 2011Right now I have a windows service which only task is to gather data from a database with a specific DSN and then send out an email if the data is valid. The service contains a timer which ticks every 5 minuts and performs the tasks above.Now I need to re-write the windows service to be able to run on more than 1 DSN.I was thinking of making several threads inside the windows service and then again have a seperat timer inside each thread.Is this a good idea and how can this be done? I want to avoid having a windows service for each DSN.[code]

Wpf - Close A Window Containing A Frame, NavigationService And Timer?
Jun 21, 2012In my project I've got a MainWindow that opens up a second Window. Inside the second Window there is a Frame and I start a navigationservice inside the Frame.

I would then like to have a client windows app "connect" with the service and be able to read that boolean value.

Obviously I can roll my own using a thread directly and sleeping it, however this seems like reinventing the wheel when a threading timer class exists already.
