How To Make A Web (WCF) Service Act As Windows Service
Sep 22, 2010
I have a web application - .net 4. The client is having a requirement that he want to send email to his users on a regular basis about his new courses etc.
The webapplication created will hosted on a "Shared hosting environment" with no excess to windows services - file system other than the web root folder through FTP.
Due to shared hosting i cannot create a windows service for him which will check the database - if there are any scheduled mail to send every 5 min.
So my question is - Is there anyway i can run a wcf web service or any other web based service or page or handler which can keep running and automatically checks the database for any new scheduled mails - if yes start sending it automatically in an different thread.

We have two servers, both are containing a local application connecting to local web service, applications and services are identical on both servers. One of the servers work just fine, The other one is just dead, I have impression the the security configuration are different on those servers. What prevents an application X from connecting a web-service, given that another application y on the same server can connect to it. and X is a windows service. What I should check, what is chances?

I need to read the data from the COM port in a web application, so I have written a Windows Service for reading data from serial ports. Now I need to access that data in a web application. Can anyone tell me how to access it? Is using threads the best way to do this or not? What other possible ways are there?

I wanna embed the windows service in the web application. I have seen few posts in the web. where they generate separate exe for the windows service and use it as an installable.
The same process i tried doing it but it threw an OS error in my server which is windows 2000 and didnt supported the executable.
However the website of mine runs fine in the same server. Thus i was thinking if i cd embed the same code in the web application.
Also, in my case the website of mine takes job for simulation. These jobs are taken for simulation execution and nearly takes 12hrs for completion and if they are not completed within twelve hours then they are supplied extra twelve hours to complete the simulation jobs.
The simulation executables are a series of executable and bat files.
The results of the simulation gets updated in the tables of MySql and hence are displayed to the user.

I have built a web page that does a complex processing, and I realized recently that I need to convert it to a windows service running at the background and keeping the web page for monitoring and initiating the service.
The service will process some files, and provides information messages to the user.
I'm not sure how to implement the link between the windows service and the web site, but i was trying to avoid using MSMQ to connect both application together.

I have a web application that uses a SQL database which contains all the standard asp membership tables.Within my Web application I use the standard asp.net membersip logic for adding new users, roles, etc...The point here is I dont use any custom providers for anything.Now on that same machine that is hosting my web application I am writing a Windows service in c# .net.As part of one of the method calls to the windows service application I was curious if I would be able to use any type of membership classes that would connect to my existing database and perform the same functionality as does the ASP.NET membership classes.

I have an web application which needs some calculations and processing on data. This job is a long running job(few hours). Job is initiated by user.
Requirement.
User Clicks on Process Data.
Some functions are called to start data processing.
Data Processing runs for hours.
User is given feedback of percentage completed etc.
Even if user logs off and then again log on he should get this feedback.
The requirement is somewhat similar to Spiceworks. Where it runs in background to detect the devices/computers in network and the user is notified in his page about the progress. But spicework uses windows service. We don't want to us windows service.
Now the question is.
What if user closes the page, will the task still run in background. This task has to be completed fully.If terminated in between output will not have any meaning. How to actually to design this long running process. In ASP.Net environment. Also is there a way to show all/same user who logs in the status of processing.

I have a web service within my application (app A) writing to an oracle database (database resides on a different server). when i call the web service from another application (app B), it fails to write to the database. when the web service is called from app A, it successfully writes to the database.
I guess this issue has to do with authentication/impersonation of ASP.NET. both applications (A & B ) are subsites within the same website in IIS and both uses windows authentication (intranet applications). I dont have access to the server and IIS.

Is it possible to remotly login into Windows using ASP? What I'm trying to accomplish is, that I could remotly call a ASP page on my server (Apache on Win Vista) that logs in a user on that system. For example remotly I start a Wake-On-Lan to start the computer (server). It boots up to the user login screen where I would have to enter my password to login to the desktop. Because the service is already running at that time, I would like to open a ASP page from my client that I could pass the windows user/password and the ASP-service would login the user on the server machine.

I have a visual studion 2010 solution with two projects
1 . A class libarary
[Code]....
2. A windows service application
[Code]....
The service application is used to convert .dbf files to xml. The convertion is done using the classlibary project wich is called by the windows service application. This class library project has some values hard coded. like the path to look for the .dbf file
const string sourcePath = @"F:forms";
const string pathToDbfStructure = @"F:formsstructure.dbf";
const string pathToBackupFile = @"F:ackup";
I want to make these hard coded values changable. like moving them to an app.config file. To which project I have to add the app.config file (classlibary or windows service)? How can I use the value from configuration file in classlibrary ?
