Stopping and Starting a Windows Service

[Guest]

Hi

I have developed a Windows Service in VB.Ne

When I try to start the Service it tells me that it cannot start as there may not be any work to do
When I comment out below line of code in my OnStart event....
objEventLog.EnableRaisingEvents = Tru
....It starts fin

I have the same issue when stopping the service because of below line of code in my OnStop even
objEventLog.EnableRaisingEvents = Fals

I am using .NET 2003 and I have declared objEventLog as..
Friend WithEvents objEventLog As System.Diagnostics.EventLo

Does anyone have any idea as to why this is causing an issue when starting and stopping the service

Thanks
C

Try using the ServiceBase.EventLog property to get you an event log.
