So I am required to write a fairly basic Windows service and have never done so before. Of C#, C++ (the Visual Studio suite), what is the best language to develop in? I am a student, and am most familiar with OO languages such as Java.
View 4 RepliesMy client has few requirements for his website he want to built. want to discuss best practices to start this project and make this a learning experience.
accessible from all browsers and platforms. (mobile as welll)language supportscalableshould be CMS style so he can assign roles etc for editing. except above my question is what will be best to use as a new project in VS2010 (MVC, web application etc)
I'm currently trying to work out the best way to build this web application, which will then be intergrated on other systems, such as WinForms, Intranets etc.
We hope to include the usual layers i.e. DAL, BLL, BOL and UI but I have been experimenting with Entity Framework 4 and WCF Data Services and managed to get something in place where I was using WCF as a gateway to EF4.
i.e. Adding a Service Reference to my project and then using the EF4 context and writing LINQ queries against the DB
e.g.[Code]....
Now with the current setup I would still need to write a DAL Class Library, that interacts with the Data Service, because as I said WCF Data Services only seems to be a gateway, I can't see where to put the code (above) in the Data Service and then how I could these methods.
My questions are: 1. How do I develop a WCF Data Service in such a way to allow this behaviour - I know how I could do it using ASMX web service, something like [Code]....
2. If I am to use WCF Data Services, how is serialization handled (if at all) - again I know how to do something in ASMX web services
3. Again, If I am to use WCF, how do I add Security and only allow my applications to access the web service - for obvious reasons
4. Would it be possible / logical to also include the Business Logic Layer into the web service?
I am into shared hosting and they do not allow me to use windows scheduler... So what are the ways of achieving scheduled tasks ie(timed mail) in asp.net... I just saw background process by Jeff Atwood blog... Is it relaible? Or any other ways of doing scheduled tasks...
Then i found quartz.net but i can't find a simple example that embeds quartz.net into an asp.net(without installing a Quartz.Net server as a standalone windows service)...

When i create a Windows Service for getting information from a Web Application(ASP.NET c#) for scheduling some task in the client machine.
To consume WCF from the web application. I added WCF reference to Window Service project as a service reference, everything seems fine. It updated app.config file, added service reference etc.
it was not working.

I have noticed that writing to BIN folder of a website will slow the response of the site considerably down. Is there a reason for this? Is there a technical reason why we should not log to a file in the BIN folder?
View 3 RepliesI 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.
how can i change exception message language to English without changing the users language

I am developing a multi language website. language change is working very well on master page. from master page I am storing session to use in contant pages.
when I am trying to change text (<p>.....<P>) in content page, thats not working.
protected void Page_PreRender()
Here is the thing. I have an aspx page with NO master page. I have two resource files with the same name (and specifying the language) in the App_LocalResources folder. If I do something like text="<%$ Resources:lblUser %> works fine. What I do to test it is change the browser's selected language.
But, if I do the same in a MasterPage or in a Page that is inside a MasterPage... when changing the Browser's language and refreshing... I'm still getting the default language...
I've been reading some threads about this but the situation was a little bit different.
I have created a web application and generated local resources. Its working when user select language from browser. But what i want is, when user select language from dropdown list, i want to change the pages according to selected language. i can save user selected language in a session. then how should I change/assign local resource file to web page?

what is the best and easiest way to test a windows service while developing it?
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?

View 3 RepliesI 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 need a windows service. This service will start when userId insert on myDatabase.And after I want to handle this userId send
to my web service.If webservice return true I insert this userId another table on mydatabase. How can I write this?
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.
View 1 RepliesI want to develop a windows service which will be accepting a datatable from an aspx page. Both the windows service and the website are hosted on same machine.
Also I need to set a date and time on which this service is to work. this date and time are to change according to customer needs. once again the date and time are to be fed from the aspx page.
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.
