    Hi, Stop your service from services.msc and check weather you are still able to insert records into your sql table. Just check it and you will find your answer :)

      Hi if you want to achieve this type of functionality than i suggest you to consider webservice.Using window service you will not achieve this. Moreover,there is no point to keep busy your server by making window service.

          This error means there is some error in the code of your window service. You have not done any exception handling.Write Try/Catch block to catch the exception and log that error in event viewer or log file.

              You are confusing web services and Windows services. I suggest you buy a book.

                      Hi Have you log your error in log file or somewhere else... Read error from there and post it. Also, Do not use window service for this task.

                        The reason it stopped automatically is because there is no further work for the service to do once the line insertValue(...) has run. In general, windows services' OnStart method starts a thread/timer which continues to process until interupted by a Pause or Stop command. Whatever a "PL" is, he is an idiot, or you have misunderstood his request.

                          What is a "PL" and what specifically are their/it's "orders"?

                            Project Lead, sounds like a cretin who's just been promoted into management by virtue of warming the seat for X years and is out to show his minions who's boss.

                              Ah ok, I guess we have PM's (Project Managers) but they don't get involved with how the thing is written, or Technical Lead's which do. Hence my confusion. Anyway, he might have a valid reason for wanting to send all database communication through a windows service (ie, single point of caching) but he's obviously not been specific enough on how to communicate with this service for his more junior team members.
