Windows services

I need to write a windows service that executes an application after a certain amount of time. I checked the code on MSDN and found an example where the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase class is subclassed.

I did the following.

  • created a new C # console application
  • copied the code from the MSDN example
  • Run

I am getting the following error

The type or namespace name "ServiceProcess" does not exist in the namespace "System" (are you missing an assembly reference?)

As I copied the example from MSDN, I have no idea why the code is still not working. This is my first time writing services and I love some of the guidelines.

thnkx!

Have you included a reference to the System.ServiceProcess namespace in your project? Right click on your project in Solution Explorer and select Add Reference, then find System.ServiceProcess in the list under the .NET tab.

You need to add a link to System.ServiceProcess.dll

in your application. If you go to MSDN , you will see that it tells you which assembly and physical dll is in the class you are looking at.

Did you also know that services used only for planning tasks are quite expensive?

Microsoft always recommends a scheduler for this kind of content. You may have good reasons for this, but I just wanted to say this;)
