I have a service that scans network folders using a parallel.for method.

However recently I am finding if I stop the service then while windows says the service is stopped the process is still running in task manager. However it is at 0 cpu and the memory does not change. If I try and end the task (even a force in command prompt) it just says access denied and i have to reboot the server.

What would be the best way to make sure everything terminates?

I thought of adding a global Boolean that in the stop procedure it turns true and part of my parallel code will check for that and call s.stop.

Thank you

    In brief, when your service is stopped, it needs to cancel all pending and running operations, then wait for those operation to actually finish. Check out the MSDN reference for Task Cancellation.
