Threads in Windows Service
-
Hi!! Can anyone tell me if i can use threading in my windows service... i've 3 module which i want to run concurrently.. will it be easier to run by threads or on timer basis...
Of course you can use multiple threads inside a Windows Service. Whether or not you should is something that we can't tell you unless you provide more information.

You can use threads easily in windows services. But if you can use .net 40 I'd suggest you check the new Task Parallel Library before you decide.

.net 40? I want your time machine.

You're actually expected to use threads in a service. IMHO, using a timer to hold up your service is just an excuse to not learn threading. Too many schmucks try to use a timer to do something that it's not designed to do and doesn't fit the problem they're trying to solve.

heh, too many dots - .net 4.0 is exact. We're used here to write it in this short manner .net20, .net30, .net35, .net40. I use it so often - googling, referencing, also can be found in some original microsoft comments so I didn't even realize that it's a way too ahead in time :)
