Windows - Coverting .Net Applications To Services?
Jul 7, 2011
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?

I am working on moving applications from Windows 2000 to new server Windows 2003 R2(64 Bit). I noticed that there are some VB programs and config files for those programs have been placed in Windows 2000 Registry. Some other applications are using them from different servers.Why do we use registry here? How can i move these to registry in windows 2003? Can I just move these or do I have to write VB programs to place them in 2003 registry?

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".

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'm trying to convert a C# project to vb CodeProject: Image Thumbnail Viewer with .NET 2.0. The one thing that has me stumped is the conversion of a routine to add thumbnails to a layout panel.
A global event is declaired Public Event OnImageSizeChanged As ThumbnailImageEventHandler
Then a section where each thumbnail image image is added with a size changed event for when a slider control is moved. It looks like just a big multicast delegate where each image control is chained to the slider. So any change in the size slider changes each thumbnail image controls size.

I'm trying to upgrade a VB 6 project which uses a component called MSGrid, or grid32.ocx; the conversion seems to have a problem finding a more modern replacement for it. When I try to open a form that uses the grid control, I get
One or more errors encountered while loading the designer The designer cannot process the code at line 289: CfGrid.OcxState = CType(resources.GetObject("CfGrid.OcxState"), System.Windows.Forms.AxHost.State) The code within the method 'InitializeComponent' is generated by the designer and should not be manually modified. Please remove any changes and try opening the designer again.
But I can't remove the changes since I can't get into the form designer on account of the error. I don't need a data-bound control, just a simple grid. How do I remove the offending object and replace it with a more acceptable version?

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.

I'm working on a application which suppose to work as a interface between multiple applications. as a example, one PBX system sends me data via TCPIP or COM ports and I manipulate it and send to PMS application. likewise PMS also send me data which I need to send back to PBX system.By query is, I don't have a fix number of communication interfaces and it can go up to 8 - 10 or may be more and they should work independently (should be able to switch off communication at any time in any interface).
In this situation, I cannot handle everything in one service or two since I don't know how many interfaces going to be. So I'm thinking a way to create services dynamically such as when user create a new interface in application it automatically creates the windows service on server or pc.I don't really need to create services remotely since my application will install only in one pc or a server and system administrator will access the server for the configurations.

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'm trying to write a windows service using vs 2008. I've worked some on services written with VS 2005, but I'm not sure if I've written one from scratch before. When I create my Windows Service, it creates a new class called Service1.vb. If I go to the methods available for Service1, I see OnStart, OnStop, New, and Finalize. The Windows Service that I have that was written in VS 2005 also has an OnPause and OnContinue events. I need these in my service as well.
