Re: ServiceTimer won't fire
You probably have to set the Interval value too.

I have the same problem.
Working in C++, my InitializeCompo nent() has
this->ServiceTimer->Enabled = true;
this->ServiceTimer->Interval = 1000;
this->ServiceTimer->Tick += gcnew System::EventHa ndler(this,
&EMuxServiceWin Service::Servic eTimer_Tick);
My OnStart() has
ServiceTimer->Start();
and my OnStop() has
ServiceTimer->Stop();
My OnStart, OnStop, and ServiceTimer_Ti ck all have code to write to a
log file. The OnStart and OnStart logs get written but the timer tick
log never does.
I confess to being a complete newbie at DotNet code, although I am
rather experienced at MFC and Windows32 programming in general, so I
might be missing something. But what could it be?
Note: I have also tried putting the timer enable and interval set in
OnStart.

That is pretty much what I have done as well... but the thing won't start.

I have taken the liberty of "correcting " your top-posting.
Since I am new to DotNet I don't understand what is under the hood.
But I was going to write my service in good old-fashioned Win32 code
and, for that, I know that I need a window (albeit invisible for a
service) and a message pump. My service also includes a SessionSwitch
event processer which never gets signalled.
Could it be that we have to add a MessageQueue or something like it to
the service?

OK, MessageQueue is not the right term -- I just saw the words and
assumed it would be a "Windows message pump" but I was wrong. And I
found and changed the property
this->CanHandleSessi onChangeEvent = true;
but the service still doesn't respond to session change events.

Thanks much for that information. It seems to be exactly what I (we)
need. That was going to be my next try -- put the timers in the
equivalent of a worker thread that does have the equivalent of a
message pump! I'll bet my session-change detector will work inside a
worker thread, also.

Re: ServiceTimer won't fire
There appears to be a bug in the Timer component provided in the toolbox
when dropped onto a service. I deleted this and used the following, which
works.
using System.Threadin g;
{
public partial class MyService : ServiceBase
{
TimerCallback tcb = null;
Timer timer = null;
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
tcb = new TimerCallback(t his.TimerCallba ck_Tick);
timer = new Timer(tcb, null, 0, 10000);
}
private void TimerCallback_T ick(object state)
{
//Do something
}
}

Many thanks to both you and to Greg Young for suggesting a system
threading timer. I just avoided the whole thing by putting a
ServiceWorker in the service. It is trivial to put it into a sleep
loop to simulate a timer. Either the worker can implement the timer
tick function or it can signal to the main service through the
progress method. It is very simple and effective.
