hi friends i was trying to make my service act dynamically... i have set time for my service about for 2 min ,if suppose it was doin huge amount of work means it will exceeds that 2 min time limit then we need to check the service condition if work is pending means we need to run that instance until upto finish
so that i have tried this below code on googling ... i m having method were i need to cooperate in below service, can any one help me
public static void StartService(string serviceName, int timeoutMilliseconds)
{
ServiceController service = new ServiceController(serviceName);
try
{
TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(timeoutMilliseconds);
service.Start();
service.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout);
}
catch
{
// ...
}
}
as of now i m doing this below logic
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
// my service name
Workjob("FTSCSVGenerator");
// ad 1: handle Elapsed event and CsvGenFromDatabase is method which i have to executed
timerjob.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(CsvGenFromDatabase);
// ad 2: set interval to 1 minute (= 60,000 milliseconds)
timerjob.Interval = Convert.ToDouble(DueTime);
// ////ad 3: enabling the timer
timerjob.Enabled = true;
eventLog1.WriteEntry("my service started");
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
eventLog1.WriteEntry("my service stopped");
}
private void Workjob(string servicename )
{
ServiceController servicecsv = new ServiceController(servicename);
if ((servicecsv.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.Stopped)) || (servicecsv.Status.Equals(ServiceControllerStatus.StopPending)))
{
// Start the service if the current status is stopped.
servicecsv.Start( );
}
else
{
// Stop the service if its status is not set to "Stopped".
servicecsv.Stop();
}
}
I have built services that operate in a similar manner before, my advice would be to NOT start and stop the service from external code. Instead, apply the Timer methodology within the service itself, which should always be running. On TimerElapsed, do work and then return to an idle state. Thus alleviating the need to start and stop.
Further, I would protect the "stop" of a service to not allow the stop if the service is "working"
Sample Code
Note: I employ a process I call "zeroing" with my timer. Zeroing, in my context, is the process of getting the events to fire on zero seconds of every minute. To do that, I first set the time to fire every second and I check to see if the seconds part of the current time is zero, once that occurs I switch the timer elapse to every minute. I do this to give myself some sanity while testing.
Also, my scheduling is configurable so every minute when it "ticks" i check my config to see if the process "should" execute. I do so with the following Xml Schema:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScheduleDefinition xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ScheduleInterval>1</ScheduleInterval>
<ScheduleUnits>min</ScheduleUnits>
<DailyStartTime>1753-01-01T08:00:00</DailyStartTime>
<ExcludedWeekDays>
<string>Sunday</string>
<string>Saturday</string>
</ExcludedWeekDays>
<ExcludedDates>
<string>12/25</string>
<string>02/02</string>
<string>03/17</string>
</ExcludedDates>
<DailyRunTimes>
<!-- code ommitted for size // -->
</DailyRunTimes>
</ScheduleDefinition>
Finally, this code sample is for a DataSync Services, so any references to "DataMigrationService" or "DataMigrationManager" are my own custom classes and are used as an abstraction to give me an object to control within the service.
