C# – Cannot start the windows service

cnetwcfwindows-services

I created a WCF library, then I wrote a WCF service which can create or open a file and writes "hello world" in that file. Then I added a new project to a Windows service. In that Windows service onstart() method I call the WCF service, then I build and installed the service using installutil. The service was installed successfully, while i am starting the service in services.msc, it shows the following error

the service on local computer started and then stopped some services
stopped automatically. if they have no work to do, for example the
performance logs, and alerts.

Why am i getting this error, how can I resolve it?

(i)Clear the Application Log.

(ii)Use the debugger and trace the execution of the OnStart() method.

if these does not work,

1) Click Run Command from start button

2) Enter Services.msc then click OK,you will get all the services in your computer.

3) Select your service and right click on the service and select Properties

4) Goto Logon Properties a select Local System Account then click OK

C# – the difference between String and string in C#

string is an alias in C# for System.String.
So technically, there is no difference. It's like int vs. System.Int32.

As far as guidelines, it's generally recommended to use string any time you're referring to an object.

e.g.

string place = "world";

Likewise, I think it's generally recommended to use String if you need to refer specifically to the class.

e.g.

string greet = String.Format("Hello {0}!", place);

This is the style that Microsoft tends to use in their examples.

It appears that the guidance in this area may have changed, as StyleCop now enforces the use of the C# specific aliases.

C# – Calling the base constructor in C#

Modify your constructor to the following so that it calls the base class constructor properly:

public class MyExceptionClass : Exception
{
    public MyExceptionClass(string message, string extrainfo) : base(message)
    {
        //other stuff here
    }
}

Note that a constructor is not something that you can call anytime within a method. That's the reason you're getting errors in your call in the constructor body.
