Example of a Window Service in the.NET Framework

Suzan Kara

The topic of this blog is developing Windows services applications. Describe in detail how to use DotNet to develop window services.

Step 1: Create the Project Window Service (.net Framework) and give it a name.

Step 2: You can add “appsetting” to the configuration tags in the app.config file.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
  <appSettings>
    <add key="ThreadLine" value="1" />
  </appSettings>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.8" />
  </startup>
</configuration>

Step 3. In service1.cs, go to the page, click the left menu, select view code (F7), and copy the code below.

[RunInstaller(true)]
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
    int SchduleTime = Convert.ToInt16(ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["ThreadLine"]);
    public Thread worker = null;

    public Service1()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }
    protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            ThreadStart start = new ThreadStart(Working);
            worker = new Thread(start);
            worker.Start();
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }
    public void Working()
    {
        while (true)
        {
            string path = "C:\\sample.txt";

            using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(path, true))
            {
                writer.WriteLine("path => " + path);
                writer.WriteLine(string.Format("Window Service Log2" + DateTime.Now.ToString()));
                writer.Close();
            }
            Thread.Sleep(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(SchduleTime));
        }
    }
    protected override void OnStop()
    {
        try
        {
            if ((worker != null) & worker.IsAlive)
            {
                worker.Abort();
            }
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw;
        }
    }
}

Step 4. In that life menu, go to the service1.cs page and click “add installer.” Then it has two boxes, the first of which is ServiceProcessInstaller1 and the second of which is ServiceInstaller1.

You can start with the menu. Navigate to the property section using the left menu. Change the name of the account to local system. After that, you can go to the serviceinstaller1 property section and put in a service name like “MyService.” After that, build the project.

Step 5. Click on the window menu and type “cmd” (administrator. After that, type the command

cd C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319

Install command

installutil.exe -i {{project bin path}}

Example. installutil.exe -i C:\Users\*******\Desktop\Job\WindowService.exe

Uninstall command

installutil.exe -u {{project bin path}}
installutil.exe -u C:\Users\*******\Desktop\Job\WindowService.exe
