Need some help with a Service

[Owe Armandt]

I have a service where I start up the worker thread from OnStart and also
stop the thread from OnStop. My problem is if the service by itself decides
to stop because of some problem it cannot handle - how wouold it stop, I
mean stop the thread itself is not a problem but the service is still
running.

Who said I don't use try/catch, even then it might be a decision for the
service to give up control since it could be useless to continue - missing
registry entries for instance.

Hi Owe,

I found that in Onstart() you can not stop the service.
May be you can create a new thread and a timer, after some time(after
Onstart method) you use this thread to
stop the service.

Hope this helps.
