Hi Again, now it depends on you when ur going to stop the service. i think its quite tough to hold service, try this : once u start the service , start threading for amount of time which u want :- ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ServiceController Controller = new ServiceController ( "ServiceName" ); Controller.Refresh(); if (Controller.Status == ServiceControllerStatus .Stopped) { Controller.Start(); new Thread (Go).Start(); // Call Go() on a new thread Go(); } Controller.Refresh(); if (Controller.Status == ServiceControllerStatus .Running) { Controller.Stop(); } ///////// Implement below method outside //////////// static void Go() { Thread .Sleep(2000); /// set ur time }

Hi Shrikant thanks, I tried with OnCustomCommand, but I am unable to hold Service Stopping process, when OnStop() event raise..Can you give a example?

Hi, I think u should go for OnCustomCommand(int var) in windows service.. If ur code is taking too much of time for execution then customCommand is good for you in service. Tell me if u still hav a problem..
