C # Create a Windows Service

When we need a program to run for a long time, but do not need to display the interface can consider using Windows service to implement. This blog will briefly explain how to create a Windows service, install/Uninstall Windows service.

To create a new Windows Service project:

Delete the auto-generated Service1.cs file, create a new Windowsservice class, and inherit the ServiceBase.

    Class Windowsservice:servicebase {public Windowsservice ()} {this.            ServiceName = "Test Windows Service"; This.            EventLog.Log = "Application"; This.            Canhandlepowerevent = true; This.            Canhandlesessionchangeevent = true; This.            CanPauseAndContinue = true; This.            CanShutdown = true; This.        CanStop = true; } #region//can place the requirement implementation code within the overridden method protected override void Dispose (bool disposing) {BA Se.        Dispose (disposing); } protected override void OnStart (string[] args) {base.        OnStart (args); } protected override void OnStop () {base.        OnStop (); } protected override void OnPause () {base.        OnPause (); } protected override void OnContinue () {base.        OnContinue (); } protected override void OnShutdown () {base. OnShutdown ();        } protected override void Oncustomcommand (int command) {base.        Oncustomcommand (command); } protected override bool Onpowerevent (PowerBroadcastStatus powerstatus) {return base.        Onpowerevent (Powerstatus); } protected override void Onsessionchange (SessionChangeDescription changedescription) {base.        Onsessionchange (changedescription); } #endregion}

Create a new Windowsserviceinstaller class, add a System.Configuration.Install reference,

    [Runinstaller (True)]    Class Windowsserviceinstaller:installer    {public        Windowsserviceinstaller ()        {            ServiceProcessInstaller ServiceProcessInstaller = new ServiceProcessInstaller ();            ServiceInstaller ServiceInstaller = new ServiceInstaller ();            Serviceprocessinstaller.account = Serviceaccount.localsystem;            Serviceprocessinstaller.username = null;            Serviceprocessinstaller.password = null;            Serviceinstaller.displayname = "CSharp Windows Service";            Serviceinstaller.starttype = servicestartmode.automatic;            Serviceinstaller.servicename = "Windows Service";            This. Installers.add (ServiceProcessInstaller);            This. Installers.add (ServiceInstaller);        }    }

Compile the project, at which point the compiled CSWindowsService.exe runs after the prompt:

We need to deploy Windows Service through Installutil.exe.

Run developer Command Prompt as Administrator. deployment Command: installutil/i file path .

Example: installutil/i D:\CSWindowsService.exe

Uninstall the command installutil/u file path.

Here, a simple Windows serive is finished.
