I think, you could, in the OnStart function that runs first, store a reference to the current running thread: Thread _currentThread; OnStart() { _currentThread = Thread.CurrentThread; } This should give you a handle to the current thread. You could then add the following code which can be invoked from a different thread: void Suspend() { _currentThread.Suspend() //Depracated - Use Alternative Threading Technique } void Resume() { _currentThread.Resume() //Depracated - Use Alternative Threading Technique } This isn't a good solution, but it's a rought template that might nudge you in the right direction. Alternatively, it may not be what you're looking for. :) Hope it helps anyway. Tris ------------------------------- Carrier Bags - 21st Century Tumbleweed.

I don't know what your question is. You described a system, but the only problem that I can discern from your post is that anumadhu wrote: there is an issue with the order of execution. This is much too vague for me to offer any advice. Please post a specific question and we will try to help. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays -Jeff

You need to run Samba on your linux box. Then just modify /etc/smb.conf to list the directory(s) and permissions you want to share on/with the Windows network. You will have to work a little bit with the encrypted (Windows) and unencrypted (Samba) passwords to get them to play nicely together.

WCF easily allows you to host a webservice from a Windows service. Of course you can do it all yourself, but I can't think of any reason to do that. EDIT: Hmm, now I see you wrote .Net 2005 which unfortunately doesn't really mean anything - I originally read it as VS2005 and replied based on this. If you mean .NET 2.0 then you have to do it yourself as is often the case when you try to do anything using outdated technology. If you mean VS2005, then simply install the CTP addons for VS2005 allowing you to program for .NET 3.0.

Hello Stefan!! Great thanks... Its works fine. Thank you Anee Anee

In your while loop you do this: mo = (System::Management::ManagementObject ^)enu->GetType(); That doesn't look like a valid cast to me. Did you mean mo = (System::Management::ManagementObject ^)enu->Current; ?? What line is the exception occurring on? Mark "Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears." Chris Maunder

Hello friends... Thanks for your comments. I am taking help from the following article provided with Codeproject: http://www.codeproject.com/vb/net/Windows\_Service.asp What i understand from this is, we can have access to the WMI. This WMI shows all the information regarding the various processes running in machine. As i want to get the username in which i am currently logged-in, So, i am using the Win32_Process (which gives the name of process explorer... and the substring of, name of process explorer contains the currently logged-in username(eg.. user_nameprocess.exe) . Using string operations... i am trying to extract that particular username part of the process explorer name. Now,Taking help of this, i have added System.Management reference to my project (VC++.NET/windows XP) and then i got two files namely ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h/cpp with my project name. And in the ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.cpp contains following lines of code: #include Stdafx.h #include ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h After this i added System refrence through the project properties. But while building this project, i am getting some errors in these new files ROOT.CIMV2.Win32_Process.h/cpp. and command line options are: C/C++ Command line options: /Od /D "WIN32" /D "_DEBUG" /D "_CONSOLE" /D "_UNICODE" /D "UNICODE" /FD /EHa /MDd /Yu"stdafx.h" /Fp"Debug\myservice.pch" /Fo"Debug\\" /Fd"Debug\vc80.pdb" /W0 /nologo /c /Zi /clr:pure /TP /errorReport:prompt /FU "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.Management.dll" /FU "c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\System.dll" Linker Command Line Options: /OUT:"D:\Apr\2\myservice\Debug\myservice.exe" /INCREMENTAL /NOLOGO /MANIFEST /MANIFESTFILE:"Debug\myservice.exe.intermediate.manifest" /DEBUG /ASSEMBLYDEBUG /PDB:"d:\Apr\2\myservice\debug\myservice.pdb" /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE /MACHINE:X86 /FIXED:No /ERRORREPORT:PROMPT setupapi.lib kernel32.lib user32.lib gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib oleaut32.lib uuid.lib odbc32.lib odbccp32.lib And stdafx.h file looks like this: #pragma once #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN // Exclude rarely-used stuff from Windows headers // TODO: reference additional headers your program requires here #define _AFXDLL /*I included this, bcoz if i don't, then i m getting an build error: D:\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC\atlmfc\include\afx.h(24) : fatal error C1189: #error : Building MFC application with /MD[d] (CRT dll version) requires MFC shared dll version.

Thanks to all specially to JudyL_FL.. who tried to help me out in fixing my problem. And there is a good news, the problem got fixed.... :) . Actually i am not sure that whether i m right or not in my analysis. What i did to solve this: I just created System DSN now and everything was same. And it worked fine, without any problem. Before this i using User DSN. The cause of problem would be: What i guess is, since the windows service which i am developing is a system service so it is failing to open MySQL db through the User DSN. :~ Am i right? or is there anything else which is causing the problem... Thanks in advance. Anee

yeah, probing towards the cause of this problem, i got two causes: 1) What you said that, the wrong order of include headers. 2) Accessing the SDK files from a application(my application) which does not support current build environment. I am using VC++.Net2005 and Windows XP. I have tried lot many options of including the order of headers.. but none of them was much helpful. And coming to not supporting build environment, i don understand how to get into its solution. Do you have any clue or idea. Thanks Anee Anee

You're in the wrong forum. This belongs in the Visual C++ forum. Your post has nothing to do with the .NET Framework. Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP - Visual Basic

This question is no where related to CLI and you have already asked it in VC++[^] forum. So dont cross-post and choose correct forum. Prasad Notifier using ATL | Operator new[],delete[][^]
