Try to wrap the file writing code in try/catch and write the exception in to event log. Also try with a hardcoded path something like C:\mcb.txt. I guess problem will be with the line Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop). You may need to turn Allow service to interact with Desktop option. Right click on your service and choose Properties -> Logon Tab -> Allow service to interact with desktop.

Your file writing code can also be improved. Here is an improved version.

string path = Path.Combine(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.Desktop), "\mds.txt")
using(StreamWriter writer = File.CreateText(path))
{
    writer.WriteLine("mcWindowsService: Service Started \n");
}

How do you know OnStart() doesn't execute? Is it because nothing is written to the file? I think you need to close your StreamWriter too, not only flush it.

If it executes , the file have to exist in Desktop , but the file doesn't create.

You need to find out whether the service is installed correctly or if you just have trouble creating and writing to the file.

Try writing something to the Application Log in the OnStart method of the service to verify the code is being run.

protected override void OnStart()
{
   System.Diagnostics.EventLog.WriteEntry("In OnStart.", EventLogEntryType.Information);
}

Seems as the service is not installed correctly.Use InstallUtil,ServiceInstaller and ServiceProcessInstaller to figure it out.To debug the service you should open the project first and next use Attach to Process from tools menu to attach the service. Smile | :)

How to dynamically add webservices in an application?

Thomas ST2-Sep-09 21:50

Thomas ST

2-Sep-09 21:50

This is what I want to do:

- I have made a WSDL (interface) which can be implemented by different web-services. Lets call this provideData.wsdl
- I want to make a c# console application where I can dynamically add different services (different locations) which implements the same WSDL. Something like this:

static void Main(string[] args)<br />
{<br />
   AddDataProvider("http://serviceA/a.asmx");<br />
   AddDataProvider("https://serviceB/b.asmx");<br />
   //Do something with the data, using a shared interface..<br />
}

Normally when I consume a web-service in a C# project I just press "Add Service Reference...",
but how can I do this dynamically with code? Sniff | :^)

If you just want to read the .mem file, it's easy :

byte[] array = File.ReadAllBytes(@"c:\test.mem");

In C# WinForm use the event SelectedIndexChanged from ComboBox :

private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
  textBox1.Text = comboBox1.Text;
}

But in ASP, ask in ASP.NET forum.

Have you ever used event handler ??

Do this first ...

comboBox1.SelectedIndexChanged += comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged;

Yes, but did you hook into the event? Or just write the handler?
