The message is self explanatory, your service is starting, finishing processing whatever you told it to, and then stopping.
What is the service supposed to be doing that would keep it running?
|
|
|
|
|
yes scott i m agree with u but it is not performing the actions defined within onstart(), service have to send a message and then it should be stop
|
|
|
|
|
Where is it sending a message? Is it connecting to a server socket and sending a message or what?
|
|
|
|
|
actually it is sending a e-mail message to wish happy birthday
by taking the dob from the database
|
|
|
|
|
Then it is probably sending the e-mail and failing but it is not notifying you that it failed.
Try running the code in a normal application and see if the e-mail is sent.
What account are you running the service under?
|
|
|
|
|
actually i m using single database in both application as well as service. but sql server is not allowing to access the database which is already in use, it is generating a error which says .mdf file is already in use, i m running service under local system
thanks for ur response
|

If it is giving the error that the mdf file is already in use then it is probably a MS Access database and you probably have the database open in access or you did not close the connection properly and the database is still locked. Is there an ldb file in the same directory?
|
|
|
|

ok let me explain
i m creating a application in which i want a functionality of wishing happy birthday automatically to the customers by sending email by taking there dob from the customer table which is in sql server 2005 database, so i added a windows service project in same solution and done all the coading in onstart(), i also created a setup which install both application and service on the local system, after installing when i try to start the service then problem occurs, i provided connection string for the database also, can we use single database in different projects in same solution, i think now the problem is clear to you.
waiting for ur response
thanks

If it is an MS Access database you could have problems accessing it from multiple projects simultaneously depending on how you connect to the database.
I think that instead of using a Windows service you should just build a simple console application that runs once a day from task scheduler.

hey scott
thanks for ur all replys, now i have added this functionality in application itself, with the help of functions, which checks the date from database and send mail automatically to the contact.
thanks for ur responses

Well don't. OnStart is just for that. Move your code and try debugging by connecting to your service from the ide - and you cannot debug the OnStart code. Also try logging errors soemwhere (say a file) so you can see whats going wrong.

Debug your services. It throwing some exception at runtime !  That's why you are getting this message.

Hi,
I would like to know, when I click a button, whcih other events are called before button click event is called.
thank you,
|
|
|
|
|
You can write a small program which subscribes to button events and shows an event on the screen

Are you talking about Windows Form or Web Form ?

I cannot figure this out! It is driving me nuts!
Ok so I can do a IndexOfKey and get the index (which in my case is 24), but when I try to get the text it gives an error:
int index = 0;
index = lstImport.Columns.IndexOfKey("Category");
MessageBox.Show(index.ToString());
if (index == -1) cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Category", "");
else cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@Category", lstImport.Items[i].SubItems[index].Text);
ERROR:

And your row really has 25 columns in it ?

I actually did a lstImport.Columns.Count right after showing the MessageBox that gives 24 and the count comes to 29.
I'm taking data from an excel sheet and trying to import it into the database.
|
|
|
|
|
Ok I did this:
index = lstImport.Columns.IndexOfKey("Category");
MessageBox.Show(index.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(lstImport.Columns.Count.ToString());
MessageBox.Show(lstImport.Items[i].SubItems.Count.ToString());
So the subitems only have 23, the columns is 29, and the index of category is 24. Now if I add this Category column AFTER importing the excel sheet into the listview does the item's not add those columns to the subitems? The values are blank.. but they should still see the new columsn right but just have no value?

I just went to a Datagridview.. thanks
|
|

And I bet there are some blank columns on the right of your data which probably failed when loading into the listview because they are null
|
|

Well what I did is loaded the list view with data from the excel sheet, and then looked to see if that excel sheet was missing certain columns. If it WAS missing the columns (I.E. not in the list view columns after being loaded), then I would add them at runtime. Like you mention, the problem was is that the ITEMS were added to the list view before adding the new columns. So the ListView itself sees the columns but the items in it don't. I guess I could of stored that information somewhere else that the columns were missing and at import added blank values to those sql parameters for the ones missing. Problem with that is when the user looks at it, the columns are still missing.
So the listview had the correct amount of columns, but the items didn't. Strange, I figured after adding the columns to the listview it would of appended the columns to the end of the items. To fix it I bet I could of looped through each item and added blank subitems to each one of them after adding each column..
But I ended up using a datagridview instead and I was able to make all that work.
