Question

I have a windows service that calls a page after a certain interval of time. The page in turn creates some reports. The problem is that the service stops doing anything after 2-3 calls. as in it calls the page for 2-3 times and then does not do any work though it shows that the service is running…i am using timers in my service.. please can someone help me with a solution here thank you

the code:(where t1 is my timer)

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)     {             GetRecords();             t1.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnElapsedTime);              t1.Interval = //SomeTimeInterval             t1.Enabled = true;             t1.Start();      }      private void OnElapsedTime(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)     {         try         {             GetRecords();         }         catch (Exception ex)         {             EventLog.WriteEntry(ex.Message);         }      }      public void GetRecords()     {           try         {             string ConnectionString = //Connection string from web.config             WebRequest Request = HttpWebRequest.Create(ConnectionString);             Request.Timeout = 100000000;             HttpWebResponse Response = (HttpWebResponse)Request.GetResponse();           }         catch (Exception ex)         {         }     }

I think you’re missing something about disposing your objects like StreamReader, WebRequest, etc.. You should dispose your expensive objects after using them.
