Answered Start Timer When Service Starts

[tdignan87]

Hi
I have a service application but i have the timer1.start(); on the ONStart method although it's not running my timer.
If i put a streamwriter file logging into the OnStart to check the OnStart method is okay then it's logging file data to the log ok.

Any ideas?

Timer is enabled


Inside timer1_tick i have the SMTP and DB query which work ok when run independently.

Cheers

protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
        {
            timer1.Start();
        }

Inside timer1_tick

Don't use Windows.Forms.Timer in a service, use the System.Timers or System.Threading ones.
