I developed a simple windows service in C# as per this article.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/dotnet/simplewindowsservice.aspx
I was successfully able to start the service for the first time and stop it. During the following attempts, I was not able to start the service. I got the following information.
The MyNewService service on Local
Computer started and then stopped.
Some services stop automatically if
they have no work to do, for example,
the Performance Logs and Alerts
service.
Please help.
I outlined here a method we’re using to debug our Windows services. Maybe this will help you trace the error. Basically this sounds like some error is occurring while trying to execute the
OnStartmethod.
