Question

I made a windows service. My code is similar to:

onstart()
{
    while(true)
    {
        //code
    }
}

I am trying to update my database every minute.
The service builds properly and installed properly, but when I start the service it gives error 1053.
I have tried alot to solve it but not get any solution.

Answer 1

Did you define onStop?

The ServiceBase class calls the OnStop
method directly from the Service
command handler that is defined in the
ScDispatcherLoop of the Advapi32.dll
file. After 30 seconds, if the
ScDispatcherLoop thread is not ready
to receive a new service command from
the service control manager, Windows
Service Controller marks the service
as “time out.” Therefore, you receive
this error message.
