hello,

i build a application whos watching a directory. if something changed
on this directory, a event will raise(check the files and delete
some...)

i build that appliaction, one time with "filesystemwatcher" and one
time with "Timer" -- both are working correctly....

but if i change this application, to build a windowsservice - no more
event will be raise.... and i dont know, where the failure is.....


i tryd to build a webservice, how display a messagebox all 10
seconds-.. but it dont work(timer is enabled!!)

i register that windows-service correctly .. and i can start it
without problems on my windows-services......

so, who knows, where the failure is--- or who have any idea to fix
that problem

i used framework 1.0 and visual studio.net

please help me!

any suggestions?

best regards

tommy
 
Hi Tommy,

Kamran's right, the Windows Service is prohibited from presenting a UI
(consider the case when nobody is logged into the workstation). I have
written Windows Services that use the FileSystemWatcher class and know that
these work correctly in a service.

I would recommend that you log an event to either the Application log or to
a custom log.

If you have access to the book "Coding Techniques for Microsoft Visual Basic
..NET" by John Connell, chapter nine deals with exactly your issue and has a
complete code section that you can use.

HTH,

windowsservice" and so on

Tommy
