windows-services

I have created a windows service and installed it manually. Later started the service from Services tool. Now I want to dubug the windows service application from Visual studio IDE. When I try to attach the process from Debug tab in the IDE, the windows service process is shown in the list, but it is not highlighted to be attached. Is there any other main process that I should attach to debug service application. Any relevant information posted is appreciated. Thanks. This doesn't answer the exact question, but for what it's worth, I have found the easiest way to develop and debug a windows

I'm working on a .NET app that calls 3rd party web services over the internet. The services do not use SOAP, so we manually construct an XML request document, send it to the service via HTTP, and retrieve an XML response. Our code is a Windows service that is run in the context of a normal Windows domain account, and sits behind a proxy server (Microsoft ISA Server) configured to require NTLM authentication. The account running our service has permission to access the internet through the proxy server. The code looks like this: // Create the request object. HttpWebRequest request =

I know this question has been asked in the past, but a satisfactory answer has not been provided. I am using the SC command to config the credentials for a service. SC.exe config "SERVICE NAME" obj= "domain\user" password= "password" This completes successfully, but when I start the service, it fails to perform the login. [ NET START "service name" ] If I manually update ONLY the password from the services.msc , then when I start the service it works fine. I have hundreds of servers to update this change occurs in the middle of a deployment, so manual intervention is NOT an option. I have

I have created a windows service which is set to start automatically. This service connects to the database service on startup. The issue is the database service seems to start after my service. Is there is a programmatic way to define this dependency so that my service starts after the database service has started. I found this article http://www.boyce.us/windows/servertipcontent.asp?ID=7 which talks about adding a registry entry to do that. I would like to know if there is a C# way to do this? Update: Adding to the above question. Here is another scenario. The services are being installed

We have the following shared component: public class OurServiceBase : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase This class has functionality we want in all our downstream services, such as standardized execution scheduling and logging functionality. In a new project, I add the following: public class MyService : System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase In the Windows Designer, the class shows properly. When I change the service to derive from OurServiceBase public class MyService : OurSharedLibrary.OurServiceBase The designer stops working: The full error is: The designer could not be shown for this file

I've upgraded a [.vdproj MSI generator project built into VS2008] System.Configuration.Install.Installer with a ServiceProcessInstaller and a ServiceInstaller from Visual Studio 2005 to 2008. There are no customisations of consequence to the installer class (i.e., not trying to start or stop services or register children) RemovePreviousVersions is set to true , and I'm changing the Version and ProductCode . This triggers an error during the install: "error 1001: the specified service already exists" Googling yields stuff (but not on SO until now):- Google for "The specified service already

I have a windows service running on my local machine. It's configured to run under NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE. The program access a network shared drive on a computer in the same subnet. That shared directory has Everyone set to Full control. I'm getting False on File.Exists, but the file exists. I'm certain this is a permission issue. Am I forgetting anything? Note, the computer with the shared drive is not on a domain.
