I have a custom windows service with my own register handler, how can I prevent it from stopping when it receives the stop command from the services manager ? I established a pipe communication between the service and a GUI and I want to stop it only from the GUI, when I send the windows service the message “stop” not when I try to stop it from windows service manager. I am working in C#

Set the CanStop property to false. Then you will need an application that the user can use to request a stop. This app would then communicate with your service (via remoting, perhaps) and if the condition is permitted, stop itself. You should be able to do this by dynamically setting ‘CanStop’ to true, then connecting to yourself with the ServiceController class and issuing the ‘Stop’ command.
