Saving application settings in Windows Service

[shujaat]

Hi,

I'm working on a Windows Service (C#) and have added a few Application scope settings in it. Since application-scoped setting are read-only, I have manually added "set" functions for each of them in the designer-generated code. Now I can assign value to these settings at run-time and call the Save function without any exceptions, but this doesn't actually save them to the disk file. Whenever my service restarts, i find that it is still using the old values. I have even run a global file search to find if there's a hidden version of "MyService.exe. config" somewhere in C:\Documents and Settings\Applic ation Data" etc. but cannot locate any such instance. What's going on here?

Thanks in advance.

My friend,
When u change the values of these settings at run-time values get stores to the memory but as soon as u r application closes it looses its memory and so does the values.

u need to use config file for contain those values. Try to save values to the .xml file and read those values again.

Thanks and best of luck...

Could you post some code? What account are you running the code (windows service). Have you tried testing your code (business code) in a console program?
