Use of console.readline()

now I have a C# application, which runs 24/7 with a timer, which elapse all 30 seconds and do anything.

I want to make this application to a windows service, to run in the background. But the service crash immediately..

My code:

public static System.Timers.Timer _timer = new System.Timers.Timer();

static void Main(string[] args)
{
      _timer.Interval = 30000;
      _timer.Elapsed += timerCallback;
      _timer.AutoReset = true;
      _timer.Start();
}
public static void timerCallback(Object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
      // Do anything..
}

And the error:

Windows could not start the Application service on Local Computer.

Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion

In the windows event viewer this message occured:

A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds) while waiting for the Application service to connect.

But the error appear faster than 30 seconds?!

Any solutions to run the service?? Thanks

Michael

You could use a Timer to execute the logic periodically within windows service,

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
  base.OnStart(args);

  Timer timer = new Timer();
  timer.Interval = 30*1000;
  timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(timer_Elapsed);
  timer.Enabled = true;
  timer.Start();
}

private void timer_Elapsed(object sender, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
  //put logic here that needs to be executed for every 30sec
}
