Hi there this is my first post on the C# Forums. Therefor i will first introduce myself a little bit:

My name is Haye, and i'm a student from the Netherlands, being in the last schoolyear. I like friedpotatoes and since a short period of time i started programming in C#.

So here's my problem:

I have a multi-threaded program wich Polls several devices through a small box running a Nagios setup. The progam needs to be started Manually, so when its running on a server, and the server crashes, big problems will occur since the program will not restart again.

The above part is the main reason why i've decided to create a windows Service. Now, i've already made the program to work as a windows service, but whenever i start the Service, a progressbar pops-up telling me that windows is attempting to start the service, eventually when the progressbar is fully-filled, another pop-up comes up telling me that the application did not respond in a fashionaly time.

All the popups dissapear, and in the services.msc screen the status of my service is still on "Starting" from that point i need to do a reboot before i can stop the service.

Although the above happens, the program does work correctly, since my database gets updated and log files are created as they would without it being a Service-based program!


I hope someone can help me out!

Greetings,
Haye Haverbus
