Hi,

I'm developing window service application on C# 2005.
The service is to read a new excel file on certain directory, and
process it to database.
The service work find on XP.
But when I install the application on Windows Server 2003, when i
start the service it said:
"The <my service> on Local Computer started and then stop. Some
service stop automatically if they have no work to do , for example ,
the Performance Logs and Alerts System."

So my service will never run.

On my service I'm using File System Watcher Component.

What should I do?

Thanks.

It would help if you explain in more details how exactly you're using
that component (and, in general, how your service is written). Code
snippets would be even better.

This means your service crashed during startup, which could have any number
of causes. Consult the event log for more details, and hook up an event
handler to AppDomain.UnhandledException in your service that logs to a file.

I can't remember for certain, but it sounds more like the service
stopped by choice. When a service crashes or throws an exception you
get a message stating that the service failed to start altogether.

Not on Windows XP, at least; I tested it. If the service throws an exception
in its OnStart(), you'll get the exact message the OP described. The event
log will contain the exception details.

A .NET service can't really stop by choice, except through calling
Environment.Exit() (or by explicitly connecting to the SCM and stopping
itself, but that's just backwards).
 
Thanks all for your quict reply

this is my snipped code ( I just translate it because i use my on

My code just run well on MS XP, but it has this problem on MS Server
2003

Yep, I tested it too. You are correct. I guess my memory isn't that
good :)
 
Thanks Jeroen,

I check event log, and I have found my error.
It's just because the my exe config that has some error.
I have fixed my problem.

Thanks all.
