please suggest below scenario.

I have a logic which will do co-relation operation and send a mail to the concern person. Also we are dealing with many clients so i can't have single exe to perform for all customer. Hence i should have separate exe for each customer but inside logic is going to be same for all.

I am planning to do as C# windows service.Is this a right approach or any other way where i can have a single build for all clients.

What I have tried:

currently we are using C# windows service exe for each client i need to separately shedule in task sheduler.Its very difficlut when we are migrating any patch

Why can't you have a single EXE to perform for all customers?

I'm afraid you need to explain more your deployment scenario. Why you need multiple services? How are you using scheduler with the services? Why is it so difficult to apply patches?

Hi Tomas,

Actually we will receive events/alerts from different customer and do some co relation and send a mail to respective engineer. i can't have a single exe reason is receiving mail from each customer is huge.so i am running windows exe for each customer which will run every one minute and do the functionality

I'm sorry but I don't think I can help you. I suggest you add more details to your question (use Improve question to do that). You are asking a question about architecture so you should clearly explain your current architecture and the shortcomings thereof. You can also explain the improvement you have in mind and how it addresses the problem. But most importantly be clear about the problem at hand and your doubts about the current and proposed solution.

You need to investigate multi-threading your code so the single EXE\Service can handle multiple requests at the same time.

Assuming the programs are all doing exactly the same thing but need to know which customer they are performing the actions for then you can just installed the service multiple times with a subtly different name and pass it a parameter so it knows which customer.

See c# - How to make a Windows service with parameters? - Stack Overflow[^] for some suggestions.

I've done something similar but the services were running continuously (not scheduled) and utilised filewatchers
