Hi, I have written a pause service function to pause my window service when it hits exception. When there is exception occur, my window service is in Pause state, but it does not really stop running the window service (as I found that the service is still running all the functions and writing into my event log). Any idea?? I do use threading timer in the service, may it be the problem?


Public Function PauseService() As Boolean
Try
'Dim controller As ServiceController = New ServiceController("ServiceMaintenance", gstrActiveSvr)
Dim controller As ServiceController = New ServiceController(gstrServiceName, gstrServerName)
If controller.CanPauseAndContinue Then
   controller.Pause()
   controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Paused)
   Return True
   End If
Return False
Catch ex As Exception
Return False
End Try
End Function

This isn't really an ASP.NET question.

if you are implementing a (pausable) windows service in managed code, you should inherit from System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase and simply override the OnPause() and OnContinue() methods.

Oops, I do not aware that I have posted to wrong place.

For my case, I have already can pause the service, as I check from services, it shows status paused. I thought all the functions should be paused, but at the end I found that it still running at backend, and keeps updating the event log.
