From: Peter Larsen [CPH] on 18 Jun 2010 06:52 Thanks for your comments. I know about ServiceBase.Stop(), but what is best practice ? What is if i want to stop with error (Environment.Exit() or throw an exception) ? Both ways, the service stops immediately without any cleanups (no go i would say). /Peter

So write a cleanup method whose final line calls Stop(). Stopping with an error code is a bad idea in my opinion, like some throwback to DOS. I recommend writing an error to the event log instead of an returning error code. |
