Running PC SDK application as windows service
JPu
✭
Hello,
Can a PC SDK application be run as a windows service? I have tried to create a service using code from an existing application and the service stops without an error when creating the NetworkScanner object.
So my fundamental question is: can it be done?
Kind regards,
/J-P

Hi J-P
I assume that you use the method Microsoft describes here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/zt39148a(v=vs.110).aspx?cs-save-lang=1&cs-lang=csharp#code-snippet-2
to create the service?
The NetworkScanner object uses the service RobNetScanHost.
Except that the service will depend on another service I do not think there should be any problem.
Have you tried to run the service you've created as a standalone .exe file?
If you want to: attach your project or an example with the same symptom.
EDIT: maybe a Service Manager could be a work-around in the meantime: http://nssm.cc/usage
