Hi, I am having windows service which is to be scheduled at specific times daily like 8AM,4PM,6PM,10PM. I want this to be done programatically not using scheduler. Can any one help me on this. Regards

Hi, you can use below code. ServiceController Controller = new ServiceController("YOUR SERVICE NAME"); TimeSpan timeout = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(5000); Controller.Start("ARGUMENTS IF ANY"); Controller.WaitForStatus(ServiceControllerStatus.Running, timeout); Its working code. hope it helps, Thanks.

The Best way when you had created a service now you can run that service with the help of Task scheduler in Task scheduler you can specify the time interval there on what time do you want to run that service .

As per your requirement, follow below code: protected override void OnStart( string [] args) { test.testTimer.Enabled = true ; test.testTimer.Interval = 360000; // Execute timer every // five seconds test.testTimer.Elapsed += new System.Timers.ElapsedEventHandler(test.testTimer_Elapsed); } private void testTimer_Elapsed( object sender, System.Timers.ElapsedEventArgs e) { // Apply to logic to find out the time string timeNow = DateTime.Now.ToString( "HHtt" ); if (timeNow == "08AM" || timeNow == "04PM" ) { // Call your method to perform } System.Console.WriteLine( "myTimer event occurred" ); } protected override void OnStop() { // Log service is stopped }
