windows-services

I need to run a bunch of pluggable processes in a windows service on my server and want to create a user interface that allows me to interact with each of the plugins in use by the service. What is the most common method (or methods) for communication between a user interface and a long-running windows service? I am thinking of providing a go-between location such as a database and using some sort of messaging queue to issue commands to the service. Have any of you implemented such an approach, or some other superior approach? WHat problems have you come across in the process? Matt Davis Do

As I get it in RC2 there's a support for hosting applications within Windows Services. I tried to test it on a simple web api project (using .NET Framework 4.6.1).

I have been developing for MongoDB for some months now and would like to install it as a service on my Windows 7 Enterprise machine. The following is the command that I have executed to create the service: "D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\mongod.exe" --logpath "D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\logs\DBLog.log" --logappend --dbpath "D:\Milvia Systems\Development\MongoDB\db" -vvv --reinstall However, whenever I use net start "MongoDB" or the Service Control Panel I receive the following error: Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.

I'm in a delicate situation: As the title suggests, I can't seem to connect to a WCF service I wrapped up in a Windows Service. I followed the tutorial http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733069%28v=vs.110%29.aspx every step and got it to work multiple times in this exact way, just not for one particular project. I really don't know what it is, I have a very simple interface with just one method as contract, my service is installed just fine and also starts just fine. Once I try to add a service reference in another project I get an error 400, Bad Request, and a metadata problem. I even
