Windows Service Events

A Windows Services class should inherit from the System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase class. We should override methods of this class and define functionality for them to determine how your service behaves.

The following are the main methods which should be overwritten to implement the functionality of a Windows service.

Method	Descripion
OnStart	Gets triggers when the service is started, write code here which should be executed when the service is started.
OnPause	Gets triggers when the service is paused, write code here which should be executed when the service is paused.
OnStop	Gets triggers when the service is stopped, write code here which should be executed when the service is stopped.
OnContinue	Gets triggers when a paussed service is made to contibue its operation, write code here which should be executed when the service continues excution from a paused state.
OnShutdown	Gets triggers when the service is stut down, write code here which should be executed when the service is shut down.
