im not 100% sure this is the right place for this, but thought I'd give it a shot.I created a windows service, and it accepts startup parameters to set the connection string for my database connection. (-L for live, -D for dev, -S for stage etc.)[code]I installed the service using installutil (I already tried using sc.exe) and I can't specify startup parameters.So if I go into Services and go into my service properties and manually type -D into the Startup Parameters box and hit start, I get -D as my parameter, life is good. But the parameter won't save in the startup parameters box, it just reverts to a blank box whenever I close the properties page.[code]
Can I pass parameters back and forth between a Windows Service and .NET program? For ex: I want to pass a compressed/encrypted byte paramater to the Windows Service, who then decompress/decrypt it and return back the decompressed/decrypted bytes.
What are best practices when creating a custom event log for a windows service? I've set my service on a timer so it fires up every day (except weekends) at the same time. For the last 3 days, I've been getting the following error: The source 'DMCS57ExportService' is not registered in log 'DMC S57 Export Log'. (It is registered in log 'DMCS57ExportLog'.) " The Source and Log properties must be matched, or you may set Log to the empty string, and it will automatically be matched to the Source property.Based on that error, I know there's something wrong with the code that creates the custom event log (see below)
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 am trying to communicate with a Windows service on a remote machine on the network but i keep getting an exception saying the following: "System.InvalidOperationException: Cannot open Service Control Manager on computer 'machine001'.

Is it possible to have a dotnet windows service which monitor other services and upon stop of any service, the monitoring service would be able to start the stopped service.
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?
I am having the same issues as per this question: WCF not deserializing JSON input..I am at a loss and desperate for a solution. I have scoured the net for answers, but I have found only this question that matches my exact problem. My datacontract parameter is also nothing when the service starts.I have tried the points of the answer in the question above, but they provide me with no clues (The web service executes OK -I am not getting any exceptions - and I can't see what the deserializer is doing - or not doing as the case may be).I am using POST, due to the size of the nested JSON.If more detailed information is needed, I will provide it on request.[code]
The FxCop says in a rule that generic List should not be exposed to the outside world.But I do not understand why and what is the replacement for the generice List? url...
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?
Basically i have a wcf service that returns a dataset of 2000 records. When i run the function from an application i get the standard error.
"The maximum message size quota for incoming messages (65536) has been exceeded. To increase the quota, use the MaxReceivedMessageSize property on the appropriate binding element."
Now i know how to fix this problem at the client end. What i'm wandering is if there is any options i can set at the server that will automatically cause the MaxReceivedMessageSize property at the client to be increased.
I am using a windows service and tried to copy some file as below,System.IO.File.Copy("Z:abc.txt", "C:helloworld.txt")Note: Z: is a map drive from another host in 1 LAN (same LAN)I got error, "Could not find a part of the path 'Z:abc.txt'."But when I tried it at a simple application using windows application, it works with the same code as above.

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

I have developed a Windows Service in VB.Net (VS2010) which is running on Windows7. I am trying to get "MainWindowTitle" for processes thru their process object but it returns empty.
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)

I am working on a .NET Windows Service where I am trying to store settings that will be used when the service is started and while it is running. I have searched through posts on SO and found that using the Settings in the properties of the project is great for use with console and winforms applications. However, Google and SO are silent when it pertains to storing these settings with a windows service.
Is there a way in which I could invoke a windows form from a particular windows service....??
Have created a windows service, installed it and everything is working fine... Now I want to design another windows form that I would call from the service while running it I know that with the help of ServiceController class we could interact with windows service from a windows application but am not sure of the other way round implementation....
Is there a way to basically merge a Windows Forms Application with a Windows Service Application and allow the passing of parameters on start up to determine if it should start the standard GUI or launch as a system service
