I have written a windows service in c# that’s designed not to stop or restart.
In the constructor, there is a log that writes something like “Starting Application”.
So i left it running for more than a week and I can see that the constructor that writes the log is being executed. This leads me to believe the windows service is restarting for unknown reason. There are no errors being thrown!!
Any idea?
Cheers.
Usually you can see the reason for a service restart by looking in the event viewer. Open it from Administrative Tools under your start menu. Look underneath Windows Logs/Application. Look for anything with your program name or anything that has a Red exclamation mark.
Generally, when writing a windows service, you want ALL of your code to run within a TRY/CATCH block. You can log any error in the catch block if you want (but be careful that your logging code can’t throw an exception!). You have to “swallow” the exception in order to let the service keep running.
