I have managed to get the Service working, along with the FileSystemEventHandler inserting into a text file, but this now needs to be changed to insert into a database and a text file.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Configuration;
using System.Data;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
using System.ServiceProcess;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Timers;
namespace WindowsServiceTest
{
public partial class Service1 : ServiceBase
{
Timer timer = new Timer(); // name space(using System.Timers;)
public static string path = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["findpath"];
public Service1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
protected override void OnStart(string[] args)
{
WriteToFile("Service is started at " + DateTime.Now);
timer.Elapsed += new ElapsedEventHandler(OnElapsedTime);
timer.Interval = 10000; //number in milisecinds
timer.Enabled = true;
FileSystemWatcher watcher = new FileSystemWatcher
{
Path = path,
NotifyFilter = NotifyFilters.LastWrite,
};
watcher.Created += new FileSystemEventHandler(FileSystemWatcher_Changed);
watcher.Renamed += new RenamedEventHandler(FileSystemWatcher_Renamed);
watcher.Changed += new FileSystemEventHandler(FileSystemWatcher_Changed);
watcher.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
}
public static void FileSystemWatcher_Changed(object source, FileSystemEventArgs e)
{
using (SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost\\SQLEXPRESS;Database=ServiceTest;Integrated Security=True;"))
{
try
{
con.Open();
var command = new SqlCommand("Insert into test(URL, Location) values(@URL, @agendaname);", con);
command.Parameters.Add("@URL", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 100).Value = e.Name;
command.Parameters.Add("@agendaname", System.Data.SqlDbType.VarChar, 100).Value = "Case History";
command.ExecuteNonQuery();
}
catch
{
WriteToFile($"Failed to insert: {e.Name} into the database");
}
}
}
public static void FileSystemWatcher_Renamed(object source, RenamedEventArgs e)
{
WriteToFile($"File Renamed: {e.OldFullPath} renamed to {e.FullPath}");
}
private void OnElapsedTime(object source, ElapsedEventArgs e)
{
WriteToFile("Service is recalled at " + DateTime.Now);
}
protected override void OnStop()
{
WriteToFile("Service is stopped at " + DateTime.Now);
}
public static void WriteToFile(string Message)
{
string path = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\Logs";
if (!Directory.Exists(path))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
}
string filepath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "\\Logs\\ServiceLog_" + DateTime.Now.Date.ToShortDateString().Replace('/', '_') + ".txt";
if (!File.Exists(filepath))
{
// Create a file to write to.
using (StreamWriter sw = File.CreateText(filepath))
{
sw.WriteLine(Message);
}
}
else
{
using (StreamWriter sw = File.AppendText(filepath))
{
sw.WriteLine(Message);
}
}
}
}
}
I think that I've done the database insert wrong because the catch block is being inserted into the text file. However, I've run the code by itself in a separate project and was inserting into the database in a Console Application.
Any help is appreciated, kind regards.
