Variables in a windows service

Mark

Hi - I have a small monitoring application I want to change to a windows service (was a form).
Is there any way I can declare a variable (a string) which I can set when the windows service runs - and which I can retrieve again, next time the windows service runs?
Thanks, Mark

Hi

You can Set Variable like that in Windows Service Also that can be Retrived Again when you Run Service Again

Just add Variable From

Project > Properties > Settings

you can Create Setting Variables As many as you want

      Use in your Code like Below


         //set Its Value Like below code
            Properties.Settings.Default.Testvar = "This is Test Var";
            Properties.Settings.Default.Save();

            // Get Its Value

            string var = Properties.Settings.Default.Testvar;

Happy Coding :)
